Tulane University Ethics Bowl

The Murphy Institute Ethics Bowl

Launched by the Center for Ethics (CE) in 2023, Tulane University’s Ethics Bowl Program (TUEB) is a high school and college competition where teams tackle difficult ethical issues in a competitive setting. Students are coached to view matches as exchanges between equals, engaging in deep conversations about tough moral issues. 

Unlike traditional debates, Ethics Bowl encourages a collaborative format where teams consider complex issues and defend a position they believe to be reasonable. The program promotes respectful, supportive, and rigorous discussions centered around cases relevant to our time.
