| Abstract: | This article discusses the possibilities and pitfalls of constructing a code of ethics for university professors. Professional, educational, legal, and policy questions regarding the goals, format, and content of an academic ethics code are raised and a series of aspirational principles and enforceable standards that might be included in such a document are presented for discussion and debate. Portions of this paper were presented at the Annual Meeting of the Association for Practical and Professional Ethics, February 24–27, 2000 Washington, DC. |
