Cintas Faculty Fellows
To support ethics related education for full time WCB faculty
The Cintas Faculty Ethics Fellowship (CFEF) was established to help full time, tenure track, tenured or Teaching Professors enhance their already established exposure, and support of initiatives, in the areas of Leadership, Ethics, Governance and Sustainability. In year one of the Fellowship, CFEFs will participate in monthly meetings based on readings and videos. These monthly meetings will explore: (1) Introduction to Ethical Theory, (2) How to Incorporate Ethics into your coursework, (3) motivations for improper behavior, (4) rationalizations, and (5) corporate culture. If the CFEF has already studied that material as a Cintas Ethics Mentee, the Faculty Ethics Fellow will be asked to sponsor one ethics related event for the WCB in both semesters. In year two of the fellowship, CFEFs who would like to participate in BUAD681 - International Ethics in London and Paris - will prepare for the briefings by reading the material and submitting short papers on the topics. If the CFEF has already participated in the International Ethics course in London and Paris the Faculty Ethics Fellow will be asked to sponsor one ethics related event for the WCB in both semesters of the second year.
Fellows are eligible to receive a $4,000 annual award, for the two (2) years of the Fellowship. Up to two (2) Cintas Faculty Ethics Fellowships will be awarded each year, and special consideration will be given to WCB faculty who have actively participated in Cintas Institute for Business Ethics events.
The stipend is payable upon successful completion of that year's duties. Cintas Faculty Ethics Fellows are invited to attend the Annual Conference sponsored by the Society of Corporate Compliance and Ethics, in order to become a Certified Compliance and Ethics Professional (CCEP). Cintas Faculty Ethics Fellows are also invited to participate in the International Ethics in London and Paris course, offered over spring break of the second year of their Fellowship. The Cintas Institute for Business Ethics will pay the reasonable expenses to obtain the CCEP and/or attend the International Ethics class in London and Paris (assuming the applicant has not already attended the International Ethics class in London and Paris).
Full time Teaching Professors, and tenure track or tenured professor in the WCB faculty are eligible to apply.
Duties of Fellows include attending and supporting Ethics Center events (e.g., workshops, advisory board meetings, speakers, end of year celebration), organizing ethics related workshops or programs for the college each year of the fellowship, and submitting an end of year report to the donors.
