Lies, deception, and public relations

Abstract This article examines lying, deception and concealment in philosophy and humanities, and relates these three concepts to notions of veracity in public relations. It argues that lying is unacceptable in most situations, but that deception and concealment are justified when harm and relationships are considered in some dilemmas. Relationships and harm in relationships are absent from most philosophical reasoning in regard to lying. The authors believe more emphasis must be placed on the harm created in relationships when truth or lies are told.

Ethics Across the Curriculum at Utah Valley University

Utah Valley University (UVU) is one of the pioneer universities in designing and implementing an Ethics Across the Curriculum program (EAC). It began in 1986 as a general education core humanities course in Ethics and Values. Soon it was supported by funding from the National Endowment for the Humanities (NEH). The program received funding again in 1992 from the U.S. Department of Education’s FIPSE, which deemed the program highly innovative. The program strengthened the overall curriculum at UVU as well as EAC efforts elsewhere. FIPSE project officers found the EAC project to be one of the most influential programs it funded. In 2001, the program received the Theodore M. Hesburgh Award for Leadership in Higher Education. The ease in replicating and disseminating the program to other institutions led FIPSE to award two additional grants to continue development and dissemination of the program over the next eight years. This article will detail the history of the program’s implementation, design and theoretical underpinnings.
