Book Synopsis Ethical Problems in Higher Education by : George M. Robinson

Download or read book Ethical Problems in Higher Education written by George M. Robinson and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2005 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
