TODAY'S GOALS: [2A2] ETHICS
[2A2] The second goal of the required leadership/ethics flag courses -- learn to make real-life ethical choices -- is closely related to the core purpose of the University of Texas, to transform lives for the benefit of society. It is also one of the basic education requirements of U.T.: “have experience in thinking about moral and ethical problems.” Our ethics goals are

[2A2f] To practice replacing fear and greed with love, compassion, tolerance, and the sympathetic imagination.
