Operators Are Standing By: Hotline Reporting at Thunderbird School

New graduates of the Thunderbird School of Global Management in Glendale, AZ are challenged to sign a professional oath of ethics akin to the medical practice's Hippocratic Oath. But the graduate school knows that pursuing an ideal isn't the same as achieving it. Some students don't follow the rules. Some students do things that imperil their lives. And that's why Thunderbird has also implemented EthicsPoint, a Web-based anonymous hotline and case management system. Originally introduced in 2006 to allow faculty and staff to report incidents of unethical behavior, the college expanded the functionality in 2008 to all students as a safety measure.
