High School Ethics Bowl Regional Competition

Tulane University’s Ethics Bowl Program (TUEB) is hosting the Regional Competition on Saturday, December 7 on Tulane's campus as part of the National High School Ethics Bowl program. 

TUEB is a high school and college competition where teams of students grapple with difficult ethical issues in a competitive, debate-like format. Unlike debate competitions, however, where teams are charged with defending a specific position, Ethics Bowl encourages a collaborative format where teams consider complex issues and defend a position that they believe reasonable. Ethics Bowl promotes respectful, supportive, and rigorous discussions of ethics, centered around currently salient cases. The competition offer a venue to engage in deep conversations about some of the most challenging issues we face today.

Launched by the Center for Ethics (CE) in 2023, TUEB connects local high school students and teachers to Tulane’s vibrant community of undergraduate students, graduate students, faculty, and staff, all while developing communication, collaboration, and open-mindedness. Most important, this community encourages students to consider ethical issues together, as fellow citizens in a complex moral and political community. 

TUEB currently supports High School Ethics Bowl programs with five local high schools in the Greater New Orleans area: Bonnabel High School, Fredrick Douglass High School, Eleanor McMain Secondary School, Edna Karr High School, and McDonogh 35 Senior High School.
