Ethical Insights

Ethical Insights Ethical Insights is a University-wide ethics resource, to foster and support teaching and learning about ethics. Our site is meant to be shared with all.

Several years ago a group of faculty from our University in Bellevue, Nebraska, gathered together a group of ethics-minded colleagues and proposed a Web-based University-wide ethics resource, to foster and support teaching and learning about ethics. Our site, called "Ethical Insights", is meant to be shared with students and between professors, programs, and colleges. Future goals are to partner w

ith other organizations and academic initiatives at the University to promote teaching and learning of ethics. We also have a Twitter account, . Discussion is key to our site and we welcome all [civilized*] discourse and comments on our discussion forums and various resources. There is all sorts of fresh content queued up for the coming weeks and months, so be sure to visit often!

*As one of us tells her students, if you wouldn't say something to someone in person, in a face-to-face class, with the entire class listening in, you can't type it and press submit.
