OPINION \u2014 Kudos to Lee Shappell and the wonderful (as well as timely) article on civility<\/a>. I teach a humanities course entitled \u201cLeadership and Ethics.\u201d<\/p>\n

With the challenges we face in all sectors, Lee\u2019s article addressing the critical importance of civility serves as a valuable and indispensable core value.<\/p>\n

I will share this article with my students.<\/p>\n
