Robert J. Rutland Institute for Ethics
About the Institute...

As a land-grant institution, Clemson University has enjoyed a strong bond of trust with students, faculty and the community for more than a century. Today, the University strives to build on and strengthen that trust through the creation of the Robert J. Rutland Institute for Ethics.

The programs and activities of the Rutland Institute for Ethics are multidisciplinary and are intended to benefit both the campus and the community. Campus activities focus on three groups: students, faculty and staff. Community programs are designed to reach as much of the community as possible, with special attention directed to the business, education and professional sectors.

“From it’s inception as a military institution, Clemson has been recognized widely for the strong sense of character developed in its graduates. The Rutland Ethics Across the Campus program compliments and formalizes this long-standing Clemson commitment.”

~James F. Barker, FAIA--President, Clemson University
