Are students sometimes asked to review relevant ethical professional codes or statements?
Yes, especially students enrolled in graduate and professional programs. Our focus is on asking students to think about and critique the codes, suggesting possible modifications. Being familiar with an ethical code or values statement is not in itself an inducement to ethical action. We presume in this regard that most of the top executives at Enron could recite key components of the Enron “Visions and Values” Statement (“respect, integrity, communication, and excellence). Abiding by the Statement, however, was another matter.
