Academic ethics is the study of moral problems arising in higher education. These may concern the responsibilities of professors or the institutional policies of colleges and universities. In this work, Steven M. Cahn, a pioneer in the field, brings together his essays concerning four provocative issues: curricular controversies, tenure processes, affirmative action, and pedagogic obligations. Written with his characteristic clarity and imaginative examples, Cahn vividly demonstrates how academic life is replete with practices that raise moral concerns.

Industry Reviews

“No philosopher has done more than Steven Cahn to sensitize academicians to the moral dimensions of their profession—the gap between what they do and what they ought to be doing. In his hallmark crisp and lucid prose, Cahn has written a wide-ranging book full of wisdom and insight.”
—David Shatz, Ronald P. Stanton University Professor of Philosophy, Ethics, and Religious Thought, Yeshiva University

“In this collection of concise and engaging essays, Steven Cahn distills a career's worth of crucial insights about university administration, a professors' responsibilities, academic life, and the purposes of the liberal arts. Anyone contending with the rapidly changing landscape of higher education will benefit from this volume.”
—Robert B. Talisse, W. Alton Jones Professor of Philosophy, Vanderbilt University
