The mission of the Rock Ethics Institute is to integrate ethics throughout the Penn State curriculum and to provide the entire Penn State community with resources that enable all of us to stand up for the basic principles and values that we as a community share.
This set of guidelines, developed for the Deliberation in the Midst of Crisis site (see bookmark below), are meant to help facilitate a discussion around a topic that might be emotional and possibly contentious. We recommend that you share these with students and discuss the guidelines in class before starting a discussion. This site also contains a pdf version of the guidelines.
