At 8:30 a.m., June 19, the first Ethics Across the Curriculum workshop began. Fifteen HT faculty representing a wide array of academic disciplines, participated. Leading the workshop were Michael Davis, CSEP's Senior Research Associate, and Patricia Werhane, Professor of Philosophy, Loyola University. Davis and Werhane provided the workshop participants with a background in ethical theory and guided them through the first stages of developing strategies for the integration of topics related to ethics, where appropriate, into the teaching of their respective technical courses. The participants will continue working on these strategies over the summer, with the aim of implementing them in the fall, and will meet again for two days later in the summer to try out ideas they have developed.

The Ethics Across the Curriculum project, funded by the National Science Foundation, is scheduled to run for four years. The project calls for two more workshops for HT faculty to be held in the summers of 1992 and 1993, and for a workshop involving faculty from other colleges and universities in the summer of 1994.

In April, CSEP's Senior Research Associate, Michael Davis presented a paper at a joint session of the Society for Public Affairs and the Association for the Philosophy of Education, chaired by Center Acting Director Robert F.
