Site Desciption 
The growth of the WWW has created several novel legal issues, which existing laws cannot always solve. Computer ethics 
seeks to find a balance between the positive and adverse effects of this new technology. The site is devoted to 
providing a basic understanding of computer ethics to the Internet users of tomorrow, with the hope that they will make 
informed and moral decisions throughout their careers. The sections in the site progress from a basic introduction of 
the meaning of computer ethics , to a discussion of copyright , licensing issues, information concerning censorship, 
and privacy issues. Other site features include a computer ethics discussion board, in which users are encouraged to 
voice their own opinions; the ability to create a user account and enter the site later with one's own login; and a 
special page with information for teachers.

        Subject: [SECURITY] Ethics of a University ISO
        
        

        I need assistance in locating references to literature on the Ethics of
        an ISO and current trends in ethics as applied to students relative to
        information.   The reason that I need it, is that I was asked to do a
        seminar in an ethics series here at RIT.  Still being somewhat of the
        corporate mindset, I said "Sure, no problem".  Then I realized that most
        of the people attending this will be ethics dept students and faculty.
        
        So I went to the ethics that I knew from the information security
        profession (part of the Common Body of Knowledge is "law and ethics")
        so I went to some of the reference books, ... a lot on law, little on
        ethics.
        
        Fortunately, a faculty friend loaned me a book on ethical theory, and so
        I understand a little more, and intuitively I have been applying a
        mixture of ethical theories.  But I was wondering, if any of you more
        seasoned University ISOs or InfoSec professionals had ever had to do a
        presentation on ethics and if you could share with me what you had found.
