ISBN-13: 9780595365920 Publisher: iUniverse, Incorporated Publication date: 08/29/2005 Series: Occupational Ethics Series Pages: 124 Product dimensions: 6.00(w) x 9.00(h) x 0.29(d) The Ivory Tower Myth suggests that the world of higher education has no moral problems. Unlike ethical conflicts in business, politics and medicine, ethical problems in higher education receive little publicity. But devotion to the pursuit of knowledge does not ensure ethical behavior. Power, competition, pressure and lust for recognition create moral conflicts. Some are unique to higher education but many are common to the world off-campus. This book uses ethical theories as a tool to analyze real examples from our colleges and universities. Topics include: academic freedom, plagiarism, cheating, research fraud, equal opportunity, evaluation, tenure, student-faculty relationships.
