Ethics Considerations for the Imagined Community

with Rev. Joy Wyler

We will examine specific elements of the UWM Code of Ethics, Section III, D and E, which intersect with state laws and explore decision-making in the context of both ethics and legal constraints. This workshop does not offer legal opinion nor substitute for the advice of attorneys on specific matters.

There will be lecture, resource handouts/links and interactive small group discussion.

Learning objectives:

• Participant will be able to identify relevant state law related to the Code of Ethics duties.
• Participant will be able to articulate personal bias in reporting duties and conflicting ethical responsibilities.
• Participant will be able to give examples of both compliance and noncompliance with each ethical duty.
