assistant professor of business
administration at Schreiner, serves as
the team’s faculty sponsor.
“The purpose of the match is to enrich
educational opportunities for students
by providing a forum for discussion of
applied business ethics,” said Torti.
“In addition, the event is expected to
raise awareness of the value of
independent higher education, and of the
thoughtful discussion and reasoned
argument that are the cornerstones of a
liberal arts education.”
The Texas Independent College Fund will
host the competition for the 68 students
in teams of three to four, representing
various private universities from around
the state. |

Ethics Match 2006 is
an opportunity for students to display
their reasoning skills while debating
current hot issues in business ethics
with other students. The debaters will
focus on 12 case studies about ethics in
business, with eight of those to be
provided to the students beforehand.
Topics will include: drug marketing,
insider trading, truth in advertising,
accepting gifts, competitive bids,
employee theft, human resources
practices and sales practices.
