Abraham J. Briloff Prizes in Ethics for 2023 (awarded spring 2024)

November 17, 2023

From: Linda Essig, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs
The Abraham J. Briloff Prizes in Ethics are intended to stimulate scholarship in the field of ethics, with an emphasis on ethics in professional life. The prizes are funded by a gift from alumnus Charles R. Dreifus (’66, MBA ’73), in honor of Abraham J. Briloff, Emmanuel Saxe Distinguished Emeritus Professor of Accountancy. The prizes are awarded annually to a faculty member who has written an important topical article, essay, or book on ethics and to a student or students who have written an outstanding research paper or essay, also as it relates to current events.

Ethics in professional life is used in the broadest sense. Relevant topics include but are not limited to:  ethical decision making for managers and professionals related to business enterprises, the ethical and social implications of investment policies, ethics in public policy, ethics in law and medicine, ethics in the academic world, the ethics of business and government relations, and corporate accountability.

FOR THE FACULTY PRIZE, any faculty member may submit an article, essay, op-ed piece, website, or book (please submit only one chapter), unpublished or recently published. Works must be topical and current; relevance is more important than length. THE FACULTY AWARD IS $1,500.

FOR THE STUDENT PRIZE, any currently enrolled Baruch College student may submit an original essay or research paper. Work that was done for a course may be submitted for this prize. Works must be topical and current; relevance is more important than length. Both undergraduate and graduate students are eligible.  THE STUDENT AWARD IS $500.

All submitters must include a one-paragraph abstract that summarizes the main argument of the submission.

The prize winners are selected by a committee of faculty from the Zicklin School of Business, the Weissman School of Arts and Sciences, and the School of Public Affairs. The deadline for submissions is Friday, February 16, 2024.

Submissions and questions should be addressed to Vanessa Cano, Special Assistant to the Associate Provost.
