Ethics Across the Curriculum 2009: What are your needs? What are your recommendations?

« Back

In mid-September Provost Steven Castillo appointed an Ethics Across the Curriculum (EAC) Task Force to make recommendations for an EAC program on campus.

Task Force members included Carl Mitcham (LAIS), Co-Chair; Roel Snieder (Geophysics) Co-Chair; Tom Boyd (Academic Affairs), Elizabeth Davis (LAIS), Tony Dean (Chemical Engineering), Tom Furtak (Physics), Kathleen Hancock (LAIS), Wendy Harrison (Academic Affairs), Deb Lasich (Academic Affairs), David Munoz (Engineering), and Natalie Van Tyne (EPICS).

As part of its work, the EAC Task Force would like to share with the Mines faculty some of its ideas and solicit others. We look forward to your views on needs and recommendations.

Part of the driver for this is the recent notification that “Effective January 4, 2010, NSF will require that, at the time of proposal submission to NSF, a proposing institution’s authorized Organizational Representative certify that the institution has a plan to provide appropriate training and oversight in the responsible and ethical conduct of research to undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral researchers who will be supported by NSF to conduct research.”

Presented by the Ethics Across the Curriculum (EAC) Task Force.
