Ethics in Higher Education

Promoting Equity and Inclusion Through Case-Based Inquiry

Herausgeber: Taylor, Rebecca M; Kuntz, Ashley Floyd

Beschreibung

Ethics in Higher Education invites readers to explore the many facets of on-campus ethical dilemmas and the careful, nuanced decision-making processes required to address them. Leaders in higher education are under immense pressure to respond to campus crises quickly, to quell controversy, and to avoid the backlash of public scrutiny in an ever-shifting sociopolitical terrain. Yet, in tension with such pressures, adequate responses to these dilemmas require leaders to make ethical, contextual choices that effectively foster inclusion, respect individual and institutional freedoms, and promote equity. Through a multidisciplinary review of seven case studies, the book's contributors challenge underlying assumptions, raise points that had been omitted from the original cases, and imagine alternative solutions. Ethics in Higher Education appeals to readers to do the same, in the interest of advancing ethical decision-making on campuses. "This book provides a refreshing scholarly contribution to the contextualized understandings needed to evolve higher education best practices from theory and data-driven decision-making to more expansive actions that facilitate equity mindfulness. The case studies are timely, insightful, and intentionally designed to highlight higher education complexities and serve as a guide to meet readers where they are on their equity journey." --Brandon L. Wolfe, assistant vice president of Campus and Community Engagement in the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Rebecca M.

Ashley Floyd Kuntz is clinical assistant professor of higher education and director of Prestigious Scholar Development at Florida International University. Michael McPherson is president emeritus of the Spencer Foundation. Harry Brighouse is professor of philosophy at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
