Envisioning Integrity (EI) Phase I Initiatives
1.
Practical Ethics Seminar
Sections of this one-credit liberal arts seminar were sponsored by the Vice President
for Student Affairs and focused on practical ethics in everyday
living. The course was taught by three graduate students with the
support of experienced undergraduate discussion leaders. The course
will continue to be offered in the future, but undergraduate
facilitators will be selected through a competitive application
process. Facilitators will also receive extensive training in leading
small group discussions. Syllabus
2. Grounds for Discussion
With required attendance of all first-year students, this is a
live-action play showing realistic scenes of student-life acted out by
members of the student body during the first few weeks of classes. A
member of Envisioning Integrity was appointed to the Grounds for
Discussion script revision committee and submitted a scene focusing on
ethical decision-making with regard to academic integrity. This scene
was included in the Fall 2002 production of Grounds for Discussion and
will continue to be incorporated in the years ahead.
3. Center for Academic Integrity (CAI) National Conference
The Office of
the Vice President for Student Affairs coordinated and hosted this
prestigious international conference in October 2002. Over 300
faculty, students, and administrators from around the country and
Canada attended. This conference focused on nationwide discussion of
ethical issues related to higher education.
4. Partnership with the Institute for Practical Ethics (IPE)
Initiated by the Institute
for Practical Ethics, several undergraduate courses were offered
during the academic year 2002-2003 including: Ethics and Integrity in
Contemporary Life, Public Health Ethics, Contemporary Ethical Issues,
and Ethics and Public Policy.
