Daniels Fund Board of Directors recently approved funding of more than $11 million over five years (2015-2019) to continue the Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative. This comes after the Board evaluated the success of the five-year pilot program in eight universities, and opted to increase the number of participants and, subsequently, the number of students reached.
The Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative was launched in 2010 with eight universities in Colorado, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming. Reflecting Bill Daniels鈥� personal commitment to ethics and integrity, the Ethics Initiative was established to strengthen the teaching of principle-based ethics, fostering a high standard of ethics in students 鈥� even beyond the campus and into the community.
New: Colorado Mesa University鈥揇epartment of Business; University of Colorado Denver Business School; and University of Colorado Law School in Boulder.
Continuing: Colorado State University鈥揅ollege of Business; New Mexico State University鈥揅ollege of Business; University of Colorado Colorado Springs鈥揅ollege of Business; University of Denver鈥揇aniels College of Business; University of New Mexico鈥揂nderson School of Management; University of Northern Colorado鈥揗onfort College of Business; University of Utah鈥揇avid Eccles School of Business; and University of Wyoming鈥揅ollege of Business.
Three new colleges or schools have been accepted into this five-year Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative, increasing the total number from eight to eleven. (see sidebar)
Executive leaders from these colleges 鈥� all members of the Ethics Consortium 鈥� work collaboratively to share expertise and resources through the Ethics Consortium website. Each grant provides for development and implementation of new curriculum, programs and activities that engage their students in real-world application of ethical principles. Students, faculty, and community leaders also participate in the annual Daniels Fund Ethics Consortium Case Competition and Daniels Fund Ethics Consortium Summit. 听
