No Ethics on Campus: A Conversation with James Keenan

Eisikovits and Keenan discuss the need to create a culture of ethics on college campuses.

How is it that the university - one of the few institutions that teaches ethics - does not give much thought to what it means for it to create an ethical climate on campus? How are the prevalence of sexual assault, the mistreatment of adjunct faculty and racial tensions on campuses related to this failure?

James Keenan is the Canisius Professor and Director of the Jesuit Institute at Boston College. His Book University Ethics: Why Colleges Need A Culture of Ethics was published by Rowman and Littlefield in 2015.
