- catalog abstract ""The community college, charged with serving both higher education and the local community, can often be a place of ethical conflict and tension. How can college leaders meet business and industry needs and still preserve institutional autonomy? How can they maintain high academic standards with an open-door admissions policy? At a time of budget cutbacks, how can they make sure resources are distributed fairly? If the community college is to serve its community - and the nation - effectively, its leaders must understand the ethical dimension of leadership and promote values that enhance this dimension in practice." "In this collection, leading authorities on community colleges examine the sources of ethical dilemmas and conflicts in this complex decision-making environment and offer valuable recommendations for resolving these dilemmas. The book explores the ethical aspect of day-to-day life on campus and demonstrates how thinking ethically can be a practical means of problem solving - one that can be used to identify the ambiguous elements of an issue and make a decision basad on the solid ground of moral principle." "Using specific examples and problems drawn from various community college environments, the book illustrates decision-making processes based on ethical considerations in a wide range of areas - from sexual harassment, curriculum design, and affirmative action to monitoring governing boards and selecting a college president. The authors offer numerous case studies and sample problems to help leaders sharpen their ethical thinking, establish ethical criteria, and become aware of how they make critical decisions."--Jacket.".
