UBC Rape Chant – An example of Bad Business Ethics

 

With the controversial issue of rape that has been clouding Sauder School of Business in the recent month, the chant that condones non-consensual sex with underage girls demonstrates the issue of business ethics at play.

Ethics is defined as moral codes that organizations as well as individuals within the company should act upon. By operating on the basis of good ethics this will help establish a strong positive organizational culture. It is therefore essential that corporations make ethical decisions whilst maintaining its profitability. Whilst in the case of Sauder that its reputation as a leading school of business be quickly reaffirmed.

With students undergoing anti-violence training by UBC’s sexual assault support centre, Sauder School of Business may put their best foot forward and look past such an unfortunate event and hope to instill the appropriate morals that make up the Sauder community.
