How to handle the ethical challenges raised by entrepreneurship education amid its explosive growth in colleges-from the perspective of an educator, administrator, investor, inventor, and former student entrepreneur. How to handle the ethical challenges raised by entrepreneurship education amid its explosive growth in colleges-from the perspective of an educator, administrator, investor, inventor, and former student entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship is now everywhere on college campuses- from classes and contests to accelerators and incubators spread across diverse departments and programs. These activities cultivate tomorrow's Facebooks and Googles but can also put profit in conflict with pedagogy. Should faculty keep information about student start-ups confidential? Should universities, or educators personally, invest in student start-ups? Should educators adjudicate disputes between student founders? In The Ethics of Entrepreneurship Education, Kyle Jensen addresses these questions and many others. This book fills a significant hole in the literature and helps readers think through the everyday ethical problems that arise in campus entrepreneurship. Jensen draws on economics literature, normative ethics, the wisdom of antiquity, and stories from his own wide-ranging experience to guide the discussion, while mixing in a good deal of wit and levity. It is an invaluable resource for all those involved in campus entrepreneurship, from university educators and administrators to students, mentors, investors, donors, and alumni.
