Student Learns About Ethics from Book His Professor Wrote and Made Him Buy

Dale Santos, a student at Texas A&M University, is currently learning about business ethics from a book that his professor, Dr. Wallace Yates, selflessly wrote and made him buy. Yates is one of the world’s leading experts in business ethics, which is why he is here at the university spreading his knowledge on the subject.

Despite the massive amount of spelling errors, Santos did not mind paying $200 for his textbook, because he reportedly appreciated the hard work that his professor put into writing it. “Professor Yates told us that we are not allowed to buy a book used from someone who had taken the class before because it would be unethical,” Santos said. “I am really glad that we have a professor that cares about ethical behavior enough to implement it in their class.”

“No other book on business ethics will be able to teach my students as well as my book can,” Yates said. “I sleep very well at night knowing my students are getting a great education, even if that means I keep some of the profits.” According to Yates’ ethics book, sometimes making money from people who cannot afford to buy your product is essential in conducting ethical business.

Yates’ ethics textbook contains valuable information, like putting aside personal interests for your business in order to maintain a standard of integrity. The book also gives information that is personalized for his students’ college experience, containing words like “Aggie” or “Reveille” to help them learn the material faster.

Overall, students of this business ethics class love learning about ethics and moral values from their professor and his book. Unfortunately, due to the fact that it is a locally published book, a cheaper version cannot be purchased online, and it is only available in brand new format at the MSC bookstore.
