Infusing Ethics into Everyday Practice in Higher Education 97this regard university educators would benefit from a code set, such as
the ethics of knowledge developed by Clark Kerr (1994:13), former
president of the University of California. Kerr advocates ethical
principles for academe based on care – for intellectual property, for
intellectual freedom and discourse, for academic merit and performance,
for human and animal subjects in research, for position and resources
and for students and colleagues. To reach this kind of consensus about
core values that penetrate academic daily life far beyond the stated
requirements of a clearance committee, the conditions of an ethical
contract or the rigours of a plagiarism-checking device, collective self-
scrutiny is necessary. This would also resolve the dilemma of the
perceived tensions between so-called “business” ethics and disciplinary
based ethics.
