Center for Applied & Professional Ethics
The Center for Applied and Professional Ethics (CAPE) was founded at The University of Tennessee in 1976. CAPE’s primary mission is to provide forums that draw together faculty and students from across campus, citizens of Tennessee, and nationally known experts to discuss issues in applied and professional ethics. In addition, CAPE supports faculty research in applied ethics, and CAPE Associates provide expert opinions to the media and consulting services to both for-profit and non-profit organizations.
