Come share your thoughts, or just listen to the conversation in ETHICS AND DEBATE CLUB Today, Wednesday February 5th at lunch in Mr. Jamieson’s room (#304)” This weeks topic is:
“Does treating people fairly mean treating everyone the same, or does fairness sometimes require us to treat people differently? Should teachers adapt deadlines to meet their students’ needs? Should universities consider systemic barriers like racism or should all applications be treated the same? When is it appropriate to give someone special consideration and when does it become an unfair advantage?”
