Ethics is the study of what should be and what ought to be, rather than what is. In this course, ethical dilemmas encountered by candidates in their leadership roles are explored using case-study research methodologies, and evaluated in terms of value claims, propositions, and beliefs of contemporary philosophical and theological perspectives. Personal ethics will be studied in terms of integrity in pursuing one's own sense of destiny and calling within various leadership roles assumed. As a close relationship exists between the study of ethics and law, candidates will also examine legal problems and issues as they affect candidates, faculty members, and administrators in American colleges and universities. Distinctions in the legal environments of public, private and church-related institutions will 22 be made. Emphasis will be placed on constitutional issues, contract law, diversity, federal and state regulation, liability, faculty and staff employment, and community relationships.
