Sounds like they don't have the authority to do it. Perhaps pitch it to the business school Ethics professor, who perhaps might be willing to sign a letter of support.
Then take that to the authority. I believe it's the dean or provost of the CS department who would have the authority to make changes to the program -- and it is usually on a review cycle (so they might tell you to wait).
I think it's great what you've started, and so if all else fails -- put it on Coursera or open source it.
- woodruffw 10y agoThanks for the advice. I was planning to ask for support from the Philosophy department, but getting it from another school that has a practical ethics requirement is also a good idea. The professors I talked to referred me to the department chair, who I think has final say over new courses here. Either way, open sourcing it would be fantastic (an entire section is devoted to ethical questions in IP/open source development).
