The Prindle Institute auditorium and conference rooms will be available to the DePauw community for its use; we welcome all ethics-related programs. Patrons are encouraged to schedule their events as far in advance as possible.

Priority is assigned to the following groups:

  1. Activities sponsored by the Institute
  2. Ethics-related activities sponsored by Faculty Development
  3. Activities sponsored by other student and faculty groups on campus which are ethics-related
  4. Other events at the discretion of the Director of the Institute

Major events should be scheduled at least a month in advance. If two events are scheduled at the same time, preference will be given to the group highest in assigned priority.

Guidelines for Office Availability

Faculty Offices in the Prindle Institute will serve two purposes. First of all, they may be used as a place of reflection and retreat for individual work. Secondly, they may serve as a place for faculty members to work independently and then join with colleagues, and possibly with the Frederick or Schaenen professors, in informal groups to discuss and critique their projects.

Priority:

At the Prindle Institute, 4-6 offices will be available to the following groups of DePauw faculty members in rank order, for a term of one semester:

1. Faculty members with ethics-related projects, which are connected to the area of expertise of the current Robert and Carolyn Frederick Distinguished Visiting Professor of Ethics.

2. Faculty members with ethics-related projects which have been funded by the Faculty Development committee or external funding agencies.

3. Other faculty members with ethics-related projects.

Other Information:

Faculty members who plan to spend a significant amount of time working in their Prindle Institute offices will be given priority over those who plan only occasional use of the facilities.

If interested, please write a letter outlining your ethics-related project to the Coordinator of the Prindle Institute, Martha Rainbolt, (rainbolt@depauw.edu). Offices will be assigned by the Prindle Institute staff for one semester.
