Business Ethics in Schools?

Ethics moves to head of class.Ameet Sachdev.News and Information.14 Feb. 2003.6 Feb. 2007.http://www.kellogg.northwestern.edu/news/hits/030214ct.htm.

Business schools across the United States are taking the current ethics crisis to heart. The current corporate scandals have put many colleges and universities into reform. For example, every business class I am currently taking somehow involves ethics. In my Business Management class one of our books is titled "Annual Editions: Business Ethics 06/07." Schools around America have decided to change their curriculum to include some type of ethics within their business programs. These schools feel obligated to provide ethics education to their students. Some schools require students to take at least one ethics course. Business schools are taking a hard look in the mirror after being impugned in the recent wave of corporate scandals at Enron Corp., WorldCom Inc. and others. To prevent their grads from becoming the stuff of sordid headlines, business educators are taking a new look at their ethics and leadership training. Many business schools already offer stand-alone ethics courses, but most don't require students to take one. In the current scandal-plagued corporate environment, it's time for schools to mandate a course.
