Ethics Education

This is the place to provide opinions and recommendations regarding ethics education. Please suggest alternative language to what is below, and please share your experiences with ethics education, and how such experiences can be included in an ethics code, as well as other means to ensure that effective ethics training is provided. Other issues to discuss include who should receive ethics education, who should provide or be reponsible for the provision of ethics education, and how this education should be funded. Please share your experiences with training each of these groups, especially the ones that are often ignored, as well as experiences with problems in funding ethics education (and how people have succeeded in getting such funding).
