Your Imperial policy?
As engineers and scientists, we have an immediate and significant impact on society, for better and for worse. Fortunately, it is up to all of us to define what Imperial's contribution to society ought to be, and how our policy should reflect other ethical issues such as equality, diversity and fairness in student recruitment. Imperial College is drafting a new Ethical Policy Framework to address these questions, and wants students' feedback to ensure that a constructive - and representative - policy is arrived at.
Take this opportunity to voice your opinion to the framework's coordinator, Pro Rector (Research) Prof. Chris Hankin. You will find a copy of the draft document on the ICU Pugwash website, where you can submit feedback through a simple survey. The survey results will be presented directly to Prof. Hankin at the end of this month, along with the conclusions from a debate which ICU Pugwash will host on 24 January to discuss how the proposed policy could be implemented. We hope to see you there - see our website for details! ICU Pugwash: www.union.imperial.ac.uk/scc/pugwash
