About

The National Ethics Case Competition, led by Texas A&M University in founding partnership with the Daniels Fund, encourages, enables, and rewards deep engagement with ethics in business through complex, real-world cases. The recommendations that best represent ethics, excellence, teamwork, and appreciation for the U.S. free market economy will compete for substantial cash prizes in April in Washington, D.C.

“There were multiple moments where I found myself thinking, ‘I could hire this person. They understand what they’re doing.’”
