Ethics: The Least Attended Component of Future Policies for Higher Education

چکیده [English]

Attention on higer education has been increasing, particularly, in the past fifteen years. The challenges of higher education worldwide and in the South, in particular, have been indentified. Policies have been suggested to pre-empt or meet those challenges. However, these policies do not seem to have given ethical issues the attention they deserve to receive. This paper intends to tackle these issues. In this article, the necessity to bring ethics into perspective will be justified. Then it will be emphasized that any future policies failing to take ethical matters into account will be inconsequential. Suggestions will be offered as to how future higher education policies may be formuated by incorporating ethical considerations.
