Making Ethics Central in Higher Education: Expanding and Disseminating a Promising Approach (2022-2025)
Kern Family Foundation

This project focuses on expanding and disseminating an intervention that prods college students to think and act beyond the self. It also seek to create a “hub” for similar approaches in higher education. The overarching goal is to help students become more aware of and sensitive to ethical dilemmas. As documented in the researchers’ national study of higher education, students routinely describe these issues in terms of how they are affected personally (the “I”), with little acknowledgement of how these issues affect others, or how the consequences of their own actions may affect a broader community (the “we”). This project seeks to “move the needle” on character and ethics from “I” to “we” in the personal and professional lives of young citizens.In a two-year pilot project supported by the Kern Family Foundation, the researchers developed and tested an intervention (hereafter referred to as “Beyond the Self”) with 150 students at four different colleges. The documentation provides evidence that the intervention helped students to reflect more deeply and more broadly on situations and decisions they face themselves, learn about in class, and observe on campus and beyond. To scale-up this work, this three-year project that has three major objectives:1. To disseminate the approach to other institutions—to help others implement “Beyond the Self” with students. 2. To network with others engaged in similar work; 3. Drawing on the researchers’ decades of creating powerful syntheses in education, to collate their efforts with others across higher education and produce a coherent integrated account that will prove useful across higher education and perhaps beyond.

Making Ethics Central to the College Experience: A Pilot Project (2020-2022)
Kern Family Foundation

Our project is focused on making ethics more central to the college experience. Based on our recently-completed national study of higher education, we are struck and disappointed by the lack of attention to and lack of knowledge about “ethics.” We seek to prepare students to detect ethical dilemmas; to reflect on them; and to develop strategies for resolving dilemmas they may face today, and will surely face in the future. We believe that the direct interventions being proposed will help students to develop a sensitivity to ethical dilemmas and approaches they can draw on as students, as future workers, and as citizens. Ultimately, we plan to prepare materials that can be used on college campuses across the nation, and beyond. We propose a two-year pilot project as a necessary and important step toward these ambitious goals. The project involves Olin College as a key collaborator and test site, along with one additional school to test our approach. Olin, with whom we have worked in various ways for several years, provides a promising environment; we note its small size and its innovative, project-based educational approach, which features liberal arts and sciences as an important component of an education in engineering. Our two-year pilot project has three main objectives: 1) To co-construct (with faculty and students at Olin College) an approach to the nurturance of an ethical stance. Specifically, we aim to develop a method and interventions—which can ultimately help a broad swathe of institutions of higher education address ethics on their campuses. 2) We will “pilot test” this approach at Olin. 3) We will also test this approach at one other college campus—one that is more typical of colleges in the United States. If the pilot at two schools is successful, with additional support and against the background of our national study of higher education, we will be able to help other schools adapt the approach and tools in subsequent years.
