My intent with this blog is to build a site where someone can go and find good up-to-date topical business ethics writing. I also want to get my thoughts out into the great marketplace of ideas.

The University of Southern California has canceled a brief remark (3-5 minutes) scheduled to be given at the graduation this year by the class Valedictorian, Asna Tabassum, on “public safety” grounds.
