One of the interesting things about teaching ethics is that I never need to search for examples. Each class brings  anew list of ethically challenged office holders. South Carolina may begin impeachment proceedings against Gov. Sanford.  Roland Burris earns a rebuke from the Senate Ethics oversight group. 

And in a move sure to make the Texas  Monthly Bum Steer Awards, UT awarded fund managers bonuses because the losses in the massive Permanent Fund were not as bad as if they had been in the S & P index. Of course if the money had been in the bank no one would have lost anything…..And they would not have had to pay the bonus…
