The Dartmouth Ethics Society garnered another win at the annual Northeast Regional Ethics Bowl, held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, November 9-11, 2007. This makes the third win for the Society, their first victory being in 2004 and the second win in 2005. The cases selected for debate were chosen by a committee of professors from colleges and universities across the country and included 15 different topics on current ethical issues. The team had to be prepared to answer questions about each case that the panel of judges randomly presented to them, either as the proponent for or the contradictor of the case question asked. As Northeast Regional winners, the team is automatically required to attend the National Ethics Bowl being held in San Antonio, Texas, February 21-25, 2008.

A team of Dartmouth undergraduates recently took first prize in a national business ethics competition, beating teams from 33 other institutions, both undergraduate and graduate.
The National Intercollegiate Business Ethics Competition, hosted April 20-21, 2007 by the Center for Ethics and Business at Loyola Marymount University , is the centerpiece of the Center's annual “Business Ethics Fortnight” program, now in its 12 th year. This is the first year a Dartmouth team has competed. The team also earned a $2,000 prize.
Each team, consisting of between three and five students, made a 20-to-30-minute presentation explaining the legal , financial and ethical dimensions of a recent real-life business matter. The Dartmouth team—Ezra D. Tzfadya ‘07, Tatyana Liskovich ‘08, Samantha A. Mandel ‘10, G. Emily Ghods-Esfahani ‘09, and Nikhil Jain ‘09—chose to focus on the pretexting scandal at Hewlett Packard, in which senior management invaded the private phone records of HP board members who were suspected of leaking confidential information.
