Integrating Ethics and Diversity Issues into Economic and Business Statistics

Abstract In its Standard C.1.1, the American Assembly of Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) requires the treatment of ethics and diversity issues in the curricula of the institutions it accredits. Addressing these issues in the statistics classroom not only provides an opportunity for meeting the accreditation criteria; it also crates interesting and relevant applications of statistical tools. This article suggests learning goals and assessment criteria for the integration of ethics and diversity issues and provides examples of means by which an instructor can make the integration effective.
