'The course gave me space to engage, think and reflect on the ethical issues in higher education. The university has always been a space for critical thinking. In most cases, we tend to research or discuss societal issues that seem to belong to the outside world; we (academia) very rarely think about the issues that affect us, ethical issues such as bullying or mobbing go undiscussed many times. The longer I spend studying, reading or reflecting on ethics in higher education, the more I think that we have been ‘removing the spike in our neighbour’s eyes and forgetting the log in our eye'. It is time we address ethical issues in our universities by talking about and facing them'
Emmy Kipsoi, Kenya
