This book is an invitation to academic administrators, at every
level, to engage in reflection on the ethical dimensions of their
working lives. Academics are very good at reflecting on the ethical
issues in other professions but not so interested in reflecting on
those in their own, including those faced by faculty and
administrators. Yet it is a topic of great importance. Academic
institutions are value-driven; hence virtually every decision made
by an academic administrator has an ethical component with
implications for students, faculty, the institution, and the
broader community. Despite this, they receive little systematic
preparation for this aspect of their professional lives when they
take up administrative posts, especially when compared to, say,
medical or legal training. Surprisingly little has been written
about the ethical challenges that academic administrators are
likely to face. Most of the literature relating to academic
administration focuses on "leadership" and draws heavily on
management and social science theory. The importance of focusing on
ethical deliberation and decision-making often goes unrecognized.
