Markkula Center of Applied Ethics

Behind the Ethics Agenda (2002)

The Ethics Agenda was developed by the Emerging Issues Program of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics at Santa Clara University. Through this program, the Center provides timely analysis and opinion on ethical issues in the news. Rob Elder and Kirk Hanson are co-directors. The Ethics Outlook was originally introduced at a public forum on May 21, 2002. The Center expects the presentation of a national ethics agenda to become an annual event.
