Modern Ethics
The BSA Ethics Committee is committed to posing thought-provoking ethical situations to investigate how “modern” interpretations of the AIA Code of Ethics can be applied.
March Prompt: The Ethics of Material Selection

We seek to:
- Help members familiarize themselves with the AIA Code of Ethics
- Inspire members to think about how multiple Canons, Standards, and Rules can apply to a singular situation
- Evaluate members’ concerns regarding areas where the Code may need refinement or further specification
