Abstract
Ethics has become a critical topic for HRD scholars and practitioners (Aragon & Hatcher, 2001). There are greater numbers of publicized ethical breaches among members of the business community during the past decade than ever before. It has become clear that there is a growing need to re-examine the ethics of specific strategies employed in all kinds of organizations (e.g., business, government, non-profit, education) throughout the world (Wilson, 1993). In fact, it seems that HRD faculty and practitioners are being asked more frequently to develop and implement ethics-related training and organization development interventions to address these concerns. Interestingly, many HRD and business faculty members are comfortable teaching ethics in the classroom when it focuses on corporate ethics, but are we (as scholars and educators) appropriately challenging our own ethical practices within the higher educational arena? Although these kinds of questions are likely the most personal and difficult questions we can ask ourselves, we believe that it is time to do just that! We argue that this innovative session can heighten the AHRD membership’s ethical awareness and focus by bringing to light the importance of ethics in one critical area—ethics in publishing.
