| Ethics, Policy and Practice By David Hricik I teach an hour-long cle course on this issue on celonline.com. This page reflects some of the case law and discussion from that seminar. There are some interesting splits that have developed in the courts, principally with Illinois on one side and every one else on the other!. In October 2001, the ABA issued opinion about wrongful discharge, apparently concluding that the rules do not preclude a cause of action. As of now, however, I have not seen the opinion. Ethics |
| Professional Ethics & Wrongful Discharge By Ronald B. Standler In my essay on academic freedom in the USA, I argued that the legal concept of academic freedom in the USA was mostly an illusion. The previous Essay in the series, on freedom of speech of government employees, discussed U.S. Supreme Court opinions on the right of government employees to criticize their employer, under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, then examined how lower courts have applied the holdings of these Supreme Court cases to situations involving university professors at state colleges.

| Tired of Lying, Cheating Job Applicants, Employers are Calling in the Detectives By Donna Kemmila Feb. 27 to Mar. 5, 1998 There's a thin line between putting a best foot forward and outright lying about academic and career achievements. In the frenzy of a job search, apparently many eager applicants are willing to skip over that line. Employment specialists estimate that anywhere from 25 percent to 80 percent of resumes harbor some degree of embellishment. ESR Check |

| * THEY KNOW ALL ABOUT YOU By William S. Brown April 10, 1997 Here's a scary thought. There is technology in place right now that opens virtually every aspect of your life to scrutiny by your employer. The jargon in the academic worked that describes this workplace phenomenon is "panoptic power" -- the ability to see. Here's how it works. Armed with common employment-application information (name, address, phone number, Social Security number), employers and prospective employers can ferret out practically anything they want to know about you. And they can do it without your knowing or without your permission. In fact, they may not want you to know. injuredworker.org |
| "Ethics & Economics."By Sir James Fitzjames Stephen "If A places his greatest happiness in promoting that which he regards as B's greatest happiness, B never having asked him to do so, and A having no other interest in the matter than general feelings of sympathy, it is a hundred to one that B will tell A to mind his own business. If A represents a small class of men of quick feelings and lively talents, and B a much larger class of ignorant people, who, if they were left alone, would never have thought of the topics which their advisers din into their ears, the probability is that the few will by degrees work up the many into a state of violence, excitement, discontent, and clamorous desire for they know not what - which is neither a pleasant state in itself nor one fruitful of much real good to any one whatever.

| Worker Loyalty Linked to Employer Ethics, Says Study A survey of 2,300 employees nationwide, cosponsored by Hudson Institute and Walker Information, concludes that "having good ethics within an organization is good business. The study concluded that more than half of those who believe their workplaces are highly ethical are also "truly loyal" to their employers. The majority of the employees surveyed (59%) felt the organization they worked for was "highly ethical". However, nearly 30% knew or suspected ethical violations in their organizations during the past two years. Of those that suspected ethical violations, about 60% indicated that they had not reported these violations. The top three violations identified by employees were: unfair treatment of employees, lying on reports or falsifying records, and lying to supervisors. ReardonAssociates |
| Practicing Ethical Behavior and Social Responsibility Social responsibility refers to the way in which a business behaves toward other groups and individuals in its social environment. It is an attempt to balance different commitments between customers, other businesses, employees, investors (stockholders), and the general public.
