https://doi.org/10.11575/jet.v27i2.52323Abstract
Serious ethical questions regarding the preparation of prospective school administrators have arisen as a result of the American educational reform movement. The university is responsible to a number of stakeholders. Of primary concern are the students, the state, and the employing school district. Of equal concern, but further removed from direct contact with the university, are the faculty, students, and parents in the employing school district. Thus, preparation programs for administrators who will lead schools and school districts have considerable social impact. Ethical questions center on the university's recognition of its social responsibility and its understanding of the social consequences of graduating ill-prepared administrators. As a result faculty in educational administration programs must consider the motives, means, and consequences of these programs.
