Do universities need the same kind of accountability as it was discovered businesses do? This is an issue students should be as concerned about as faculty. 

...and a related question: Why was this same decision not made with respect to plant life? 

Is 2011 the year when New Yorkers finally get the right to marry someone of the same sex? The Empire State Pride Agenda's Ross Levi thinks so -- even if the state Senate is under GOP control -- as you can see from the document below.

I like how this article states that this bank is pointing out that there usually are those same charges as their customers are now seeing, it's just that they decided not to hide them anymore. I see that as an ethical decision being made.

This news article is about the U.S. Postal Service. The rest of the country is having to cut back and change their way of running things but for the post office to make those same needed changes, Congress has to vote on it.

This is a news artical showing that even what seems like a small decision about using resorces that are at hand, can be a lapse in ethical judgment.

Same story, different day. Is there any one in congress that has the moral ethic to work honestly?

Everyone is asking the same questions: Have we hit bottom yet? When will the recession end? When will things go back to the way they were? As a chief executive, I'm as eager as anyone to put the recession into the past. A growing economy benefits everyone.

Everyone wants a fast recovery to get things back to normal within our economy. However, we must learn from this huge disaster which could mean staying in thh economic mess a little longer so we do not repeat this blunder again.

This brings up the question as to whether our moral values are the same as they used to be. Are we slipping in regards to our professional behaviors?

Prisoners at some Texas state jails are scaling back to two meals per day on the weekends, as part of budgetary belt tightening. NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Prisoners in Texas jails have been tightening their belts as the state cuts back on weekend lunches to save money.

My first thought when I read this title was that it was disgusting to me that they would cut out a meal. Then, as I read the article, it became less about the fact that they were cutting out a meal (especially if it is true that they are still getting the same nutritional values as before). As the representative from the ACLU pointed out, there are many over-incarcerated individuals in prison. Instead of pulling out a meal, perhaps it would be wise to look at who they have in prison and see if an alternative punishment/treatment would be feasable. This would solve not only some monitary issues, but overcrouding in general and possibly even help rehabilitate better.
