This book examines the importance, possibilities, and complexities
of the university as an ethical academy. Universities may be seen
as an evolving network of ethical systems that govern teaching,
research, service, and administration. However, the university
system is changing: adding new rules, new ways of working, and new
ideas to its repertoire of operations. The theories that we have
traditionally employed may be now put up for questioning and
examination. Universities now comprise a spectacularly large body
of regulations and policies, both internal and external, that cover
issues from cheating, human subject research, academic integrity,
research on animals, environmental ethics, and the ethics of sexual
harassment. These interconnected ecological systems of ethics have
not emerged in one rational process but rather reflect the ongoing
historical and dynamic development of law and ethics in relation to
the creation of new values. This has played out in a particular
political and ideological environment, which has produced the
university as a set of practices and beliefs and a particular set
of rationalities. This book was originally published as a special
issue of the journal Educational Philosophy and Theory.
