We don’t have to look very far to confront issues—and scandals—regarding the state of American universities and colleges. There are many holes in the moral fabric of these institutions. An ethical
inquiry is in order; with diverse voices inside academia exposing conflicts and complications while proposing practical responses to repair and re-stabilize higher education as an institution.

Wanda Teays and Alison Dundes Renteln present a collection of sixteen original essays tackling the most vital issues facing universities. An impressive team of highly regarded philosophers, ethicists, and legal scholars to address the timely concerns, such as


Fraud & misrepresentation in student applications,
Bribery of college officials,
Misuse of family connections,
Age discrimination,
Inflated resumes,
Exploitation of adjuncts and teaching assistants,
Sexual assault and misconduct,
Coaches involved in recruiting violations,
Ties to corporations and/or big pharmaceutical companies,
Issues in fundraising, and
Bias in hiring & tenure decisions.


This book will be especially helpful as either a primary or supplementary text in Applied Ethics, Contemporary Moral Problems, Business Ethics, Public Policy, Philosophy of Education, Law and Education, and Social Justice. It would also serve as a valuable resource for workshops and institutes for educational administrators and professional development for educators.

athletes and coaches, and campus police. The contributors to Part Two are Jose Gomez, Darin
Dockstader, Zenon Culverhouse, Jonathan Liljeblad, and Rita Manning.

facing universities. These are admissions’ controversies, bias, prejudice and discrimination, gender,
