Forum discusses
ethics, privatization
As more public sector functions are privatized, the increasing number of government and business mergers are creating a new dilemma: should private businesses be required to adopt the rules of ethical conduct practiced by government?
"Ethics in the Era of Privatization"-- a forum hosted by the LBJ School, the Graduate School of Business, and the Law School--examined this issue and other related topics on March 24.
The forum is part of the annual Professionals at the Crossroads series, which allows persons from different disciplines to explore complex issues from various perspectives.
Panelists included Frank Cross, professor, UT Austin Department of Management Science and Information Systems; Warner Croft, managing partner for state and local government practice, Andersen Consulting; LBJ School Professor Aditi Gowri; Michael Totty, staff reporter for the Wall Street Journal; and Sarah Woelk, director of education and advisory opinion, Texas Ethics Commission.
At the LBJ School, the event was coordinated by second-year student Bergan Norris and first-year student Gretchen Himsl.
