While it does not always claim center stage, the subject of ethics has been one of the oldest issues of discourse. Its prominence as a topic of discussion arises usually when there is confusion or lack of clarity about the appropriate behavior of individuals in a given setting. As a new discipline or profession develops, the need arises fora set of prescriptions that define conduct within the context of the discipline. Being a relatively new discipline, hospitality education suffers from a lack of clarity concerning appropriate behavior for those engaged in education, service, and research at colleges and universities. It is the purpose of this paper to provide a conceptual framework upon which a hospitality educators' code of ethics can be built. Key Words: ethics, morality, code of ethics, hospitality, education, ethical principles.
