Southern Colorado Ethics Consortium
Encouraging ethical education in southern Colorado and beyond.
The Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative Collegiate Program (DFEI) at the UCCS College of Business supports the Southern Colorado Ethics Consortium for higher education institutions in the southern half of the state. In 2016, an ethics champion pilot program with the Southern Colorado Higher Education Consortium (SCHEC) created the consortium with nine partner institutions to expand best practices in ethics education. Geographically covering roughly 50,000 square miles, Southern Colorado is home to diverse communities, many in rural locations. Each participating school has educators serving as Ethics Champions on their campus.
In 2020, the ethics champion pilot program with the Southern Colorado Higher Education Consortium (SCHEC) became the DFEI Collegiate Program at UCCS Southern Colorado Ethics Consortium, which allows inclusion of more schools in the region, and recognizes that the collaboration on ethics education and student engagement opportunities goes beyond ethics champion projects.
