Ethics Education In Public Administration And Affairs

In the first edition of the Handbook of Administrative Ethics, Catron and Denhardt (1994) argue for “further progress in developing a shared understanding of the goals of ethics education, greater training opportunities for faculty interested in teaching ethics, and greater coverage and better coordination of ethics in the curriculum” (p. 60). In spite of those conclusions, Catron and Denhardt note that “the field of ethics education for public service [is] healthier and more vibrant today than it has been in decades” (1994, p. 60).
