Eye on UMSL: Ethics

Jeremy Scahill, national security correspondent for The Nation magazine and author of the book “Dirty Wars,” which was also made into a documentary film, delivers the keynote address at the second annual Public Ethics Conference. The conference was held in the Millennium Student Center and sponsored by the UMSL Center for Ethics in Public Life. Scahill spoke on numerous topics, but his driving theme was a need to speak truth to power.

The photograph was taken by UMSL photographer August Jennewein and is the latest to be featured in Eye on UMSL.
