Economist: News from schools

Patricia Palmiotto via The Economist about the Tuck's practice to invite former executives procecuited for wrongdoings to discuss the ethics of what they've done in order for students to "beware of the temptations that await them once they enter the pressure-filled world of earnings targets and shareholder value".

Patricia Palmiotto, the director of Tuck's Allwin Initiative for Corporate Citizenship, says that for the people mixed up in corporate scandals, it is not always obvious that what they're doing is unethical. She hopes inviting these felonious speakers to campus will help students recognize when they may be falling into an ethics trap.
