Ethical Dilemmas in Higher Education

Featured Speaker:

• Wil Crawford, Forvis Mazars

Topic: 

Ethical challenges in higher education often arise in situations where competing values, stakeholder interests, and professional responsibilities create difficult choices with no clear right answer. This course examines the nature of ethics, the characteristics of ethical dilemmas, and common workplace ethical issues encountered by leaders and professionals in higher education institutions and affiliated foundations. Participants will explore ethical theories, the relationship between ethics and fraud risk, and practical frameworks for ethical decision-making. Through discussion, case examples, and application exercises, attendees will develop strategies for identifying, analyzing, documenting, and resolving ethical dilemmas while maintaining professional integrity and organizational accountability.

Learning Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

1. Define ethics and distinguish ethical decision-making from personal feelings, cultural norms, legal compliance, and other non-ethical considerations.
2. Identify the characteristics of an ethical dilemma and recognize common ethical conflicts that arise in higher education and workplace environments.
3. Apply a structured framework to analyze ethical dilemmas, evaluate alternatives, and select ethically appropriate courses of action.
