KALAMAZOO--Two high-ranking É«É«À² Michigan University officials will discuss ethical dilemmas in academic administration Monday, March 26, as part of the É«É«À² Center for the Study of Ethics in Society's spring season.

Dr. Alex Enyedi, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, and Dr. Timothy Greene, provost, will lead the ethics discussion beginning at 3:30 p.m. in Room 2008 of the Richmond Center. A reception will follow the presentation, which is free and open to the public.

The discussion will focus on the ethical decisions academic administrators make in the everyday leadership of an institution.
