About this ebook

Academic ethics is the study of moral problems arising in higher education. These may concern the responsibilities of professors or the institutional policies of colleges and universities. In this work, Steven M. Cahn, a pioneer in the field, brings together his essays concerning four provocative issues: curricular controversies, tenure processes, affirmative action, and pedagogic obligations. Written with his characteristic clarity and imaginative examples, Cahn vividly demonstrates how academic life is replete with practices that raise moral concerns.
