This paper addresses the unique aspects of teaching ethics in a Computer Information Systems (CIS) program in a Jesuit higher education setting. Jesuit higher education promotes the theme of social responsibility in their teaching. The mission and themes developed through the Jesuit charters are prevalent in Jesuit higher education. The interesting issues that lie ahead for students pursuing careers involving technology are ethical practices in the uses and implementation of technology in business and society. Students majoring in computer information systems have shown interest in enhancing their education with an ethics component. The popular interests in these courses have increased the curiosities of our students and lay faculty alike that promote and understand the theme of the mission and social responsibility. This paper discusses the link to Jesuit education and student interest in Information Technology (IT) ethics and its goals for teaching computer and information ethics.
Keywords: IT ethics, information and society, social responsibility, Jesuit higher education
