We don't have to look very far to confront issues-and scandals-regarding the state of American universities and colleges. There are many holes in the moral fabric of these institutions. An ethical
inquiry is in order; with diverse voices inside academia exposing conflicts and complications while proposing practical responses to repair and re-stabilize higher education as an institution.

Wanda Teays and Alison Dundes Renteln present a collection of sixteen original essays tackling the most vital issues facing universities. An impressive team of highly regarded philosophers, ethicists, and legal scholars to address the timely concerns, such as

• Fraud & misrepresentation in student applications,
• Bribery of college officials,
• Misuse of family connections,
• Age discrimination,
• Inflated resumes,
• Exploitation of adjuncts and teaching assistants,
• Sexual assault and misconduct,
• Coaches involved in recruiting violations,
• Ties to corporations and/or big pharmaceutical companies,
• Issues in fundraising, and
• Bias in hiring & tenure decisions.

This book will be especially helpful as either a primary or supplementary text in Applied Ethics, Contemporary Moral Problems, Business Ethics, Public Policy, Philosophy of Education, Law and Education, and Social Justice. It would also serve as a valuable resource for workshops and institutes for educational administrators and professional development for educators.
