About this title

Synopsis

In this learned, incisive, and witty probe into the ethical standards and practices of the academic world, noted author Steven M. Cahn takes a critical look at the duties and responsibilities of college professors, and provides realistic ethical guidelines for teaching, scholarship, and personnel decisions.

Reviews

A CUNY provost and veteran philosophy professor examines the duties and responsibilities of faculty and provides appropriate standards by which to judge academic malpractice. Cahn discusses ethical aspects of teaching, examinations, grades, the relationship between instructor and student, degree requirements, college-wide and departmental service, voting procedures, research and publication, evaluation of faculty, appointments and dismissals, tenure, and graduate education. This stimulating work contains touches of humor and numerous anecdotes. It should be read by academic administrators, faculty, and graduate students, as well as the general public.
