In January 2010, the New Mexico State University College of Business was awarded $1.25 million over five years to develop a principle-based ethics program. The grant is part of the Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative Collegiate Program , an organization which aims to strengthen principle-based ethics education and to foster a high standard of ethics in young people. Following the success of its five-year pilot program, in December 2014 the College was awarded an additional $1.25 million over the next five years to continue its principle-based ethics program. In 2019, the Daniels Fund board approved funding for the current phase of the program, which now consists of eleven partners.
Erin Blaugrund, Director of the Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative at the NMSU College of Business, and professor in the Department of Marketing, coordinates NMSU’s role in the project.
Vision
Schools participating in the Daniels Fund Ethics Initiative Collegiate Program become members of the Consortium. Working together, Consortium members leverage individual school achievements to further strengthen and expand ethics education in the region.
