Executives now visit a white collar criminal prison at Nellis Federal Prison Camp in Las Vegas, Nevada. Students are required to attend this Ethics Symposium weekend which includes an entire day with white collar criminals. These are individuals (some national figures) who discuss in an open forum their crime, their ethical dilemma, and real issues facing business leaders that put them at risk of criminal indictment. There is also a briefing with business law faculty and a session on current ethical dilemma's facing today's executive students.
