This annual conference just held its sixth meeting in April addressing the ethical issues surround migration. A schedule and selected papers are available online as well as information about past conferences.

This seminar, offered by the office of Student Life Advising Services is taught by Alex Alday and Martine Alexander. It seeks to introduce freshpersons to issues of ethical behavior in the context of UC Berkeley’s academic and social environment. Academic honesty and the recognition of the rights and respect of others will be discussed using existing university policies that govern university ethics/behavior (e.g. plagiarism, accountability) and a variety of articles about social conditions/moral behavior (e.g. racism, political activism, substance abuse).

Employee Relations is bringing back Professor David Vogel for an encore session of Ethics in Everyday Management (held previously in February 2003). He will discuss the ethical challenges managers and supervisors face as they make daily decisions that have a major impact in the workplace and on the University as an institution.

Professor Vogel holds the George Quist Chair in Business Ethics at the Haas School of Business. He is also a professor in the Department of Political Science and an affiliate professor at the Goldman School of Public Policy. He lectures regularly on the subject of business ethics to many different audiences.

To be held: September 16, 2003 from 1:30-3:30 pm
