Last year, CSU, Chico placed second in the regional competition, which it also hosted. Universities competing in this year’s ethics bowl, in addition to CSU, Chico, include the National Hispanic University; University of California, Santa Cruz; San Jose State University; University of Southern California, Marshall School of Business; and USC, Levan Institute for Humanities and Ethics.
The Ethics Bowl, a competitive academic game modeled loosely on the television program “College Bowl,” is designed to develop students’ abilities in ethical analysis and judgment. A moderator poses questions on ethical issues to student teams. The issues may concern professional, social, political or personal ethics. Students prepare for the Ethics Bowl in a class called Regional Ethics Bowl taught by Becky Cox-White, professor of philosophy.
“The CSU, Chico Ethics Bowl enhances our reputation between campuses, across campus and within the community,” said White. “We are pleased to be hosting it once again.”
The Center for the Study of Ethics in the Professions, located at the Illinois Institute of Technology in Chicago, sponsors the competitions.
