Amateurism in Sports Today: Who's Winning the Game?

 

The Columbia University Sports Ethics Symposium recognizes sports as a link that connects cultures worldwide. As sports continue to flourish as a global, multi-billion dollar industry, those in the sports community are increasingly faced with ethical challenges that must be overcome in order to achieve success. The Columbia University Sports Ethics Symposium will address these ethical issues, and an expert panel consisting of distinguished leaders in the sports industry will discuss their experiences, the ethical issues they must navigate and the safeguards they have established to deal with these ethical dilemmas.

 

Join us and our expert panelists as we recognize and examine the influence of ethics in the sports business.
