SS04: Presidential Campaign Ethics: Lessons from 2008 for 2012

Session Submission Type: Panel Discussion

Abstract

Against the background of concern among members of this profession, the vision for this seminar is to begin a dialogue to put us in a position to exercise a voice of ethics during the presidential campaign in 2012. This seminar will address two questions: 1) What is the state of ethics in presidential campaigning in America? 2) What, if anything, should this association and/or its members do to advance the cause of ethical campaigning?
