A concern for the ethical instruction and formation of students has
always been a part of American higher education. Yet that concern
has by no means been uniform or free from controversy. The
centrality of moral philosophy in the undergraduate curriculum
during the mid-19th Century gave way later during that era to the
first signs of increasing specialization of the disciplines. By the
middle of the 20th Century, instruction in ethics had, by and
large, become confined almost exclusively to departments of
philosophy and religion. Efforts to introduce ethics teaching in
the professional schools and elsewhere in the university often met
with indifference or outright hostility. The past decade has seen a
remarkable resurgence of the interest in the teaching of ethics, at
both the undergraduate and the professional school levels.
Beginning in 1977, The Hastings Center, with the support of the
Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the Carnegie Corporation of New York,
undertook a system atic study of the state of the teaching of
ethics in American higher education."
