Instructors are constantly challenged because they are bound by two major ethical principles. The ethics of leadership and the ethics as followers are the concern. They must adhere to the National Education Association ethical principles when dealing with students and from a professional perspective. The article reviewed the relevant literature, emphasized the five ethical processes to decision making, suggest how the five processes can be used in ethical decision making for educators. The ethical processes in decision making should be used in all universities and colleges. The aims of education as outlined by the university’s mission should be adhered to by the instructors. The shared code of ethics should be explained, developed through a lecture, with a question-and-answer session. A handout with the National Education Association code of ethics for instructors and the moral beliefs of different culture should be respected. This article was first submitted to Fischler College of Education at Nova Southeastern University in partial completion of my degree in higher education.
