Ethics Professors: Religious Freedom Laws, Illness At The Workplace

Indiana and Arkansas are in the news for controversial legislature aimed at protecting religious freedom. On this edition of Up To Date, the Ethics professors discuss when religious freedom infringes on other freedoms. Plus, what  responsibilities do employers and employees have when it comes to illness, mental or otherwise, in the workplace?

Guests:

  • Wayne Vaught is the Dean of the UMKC College of Arts and Sciences, as well as a professor of philosophy, medicine, and bioethics.
  • Clancy Martin is a philosophy professor at UMKC, and Professor of Business Ethics at the Bloch School of Management.
When I host Up To Date each morning at 9, my aim is to engage the community in conversations about the Kansas City area’s challenges, hopes and opportunities. I try to ask the questions that listeners want answered about the day’s most pressing issues and provide a place for residents to engage directly with newsmakers.
