How does ethics intersect with the mentee-mentor relationship?
Ethics involves the use of reasoned moral judgments to examine one’s responsibility in any given situation. Mentors have the responsibility of teaching and role modeling the appropriate ethical behavior of academic professionals. Mentors have the obligation to teach mentees about the responsible conduct of research as well as the ethical issues associated with being an educator. Both mentors and mentees have the responsibility of behaving ethically in their relationship.
