Requirement of 2-100+ word minimum Posts There are two (2) per Unit

Weeks 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9

Please try to have initial posting completed/posted by each Sunday night by midnight – if you can. This is done to have everyone get their posting done and

your classmates will be able to respond to that posting as opposed to your initial & follow up postings being Tuesday night at 11:55 pm. That would not allow for much class interaction.

Ethics in Public ServiceHigher Standards & Double Standards

Edwin J. Delattre When a person voluntarily accepts a position of public

trust, he takes on new obligations. If he does not want to live up to them, he is free to decline the job. Not only is this fair demand; granting authority without expecting public servants to live up to it would unfair to everyone they are expected to serve.

Raise the salaries if jobs merit higher pay but not in expectation of buying integrity. Nobody sells that. People who have it give it for free.
