Ethics/Social Responsibility
Bentley's long-standing institutional historical and ongoing commitment to ethics and social responsibility grew out of the interactions of business and the arts and sciences. The program in business ethics originated in the Philosophy Department, which launched the Center for Business Ethics more than a quarter of a century ago.
Ethics and social responsibility have long been embedded in courses across the Bentley curriculum (e.g., internet privacy issues in the Management Department, internet security in CIS, corporate governance in the Accountancy and Finance departments, cyberlaw in the Law Department).
The Alliance for Ethics and Social Reponsibility facilitates the collaboration and coordination of several thriving initiatives from the Center of Business Ethics, founded in 1976 to the Bentley Service-Learning Program, which grew out of the English Department in 1990, to several newer initiatives including the Cronin International Center, the Cyberlaw Center and the Institute for Women in Leadership. Professor of Management Anthony Buono, coordinates this alliance, which informs not only what Bentley teaches, but how it operates as an organization.
