Dr. George DeMartino, economist at the University of Denver’s Josef Korbel School of International Studies, will open Fresno State’s spring line-up for the Leon S. Peters Ethics Lecture Series from 5-6:30 p.m. Monday, March 5.
The free, public program presented by the Ethics Center of Fresno State will also include talks March 13 and April 9 and 13.
DeMartino’s presentation, “An Escalating Case for Professional Economic Ethics,” will be held in the Alice Peters Auditorium of the University Business Center.
He will discuss the devastation that occurs when ethical questions in professional economics are overlooked and why there is a need for the profession to recognize ethical obligations.
