To counter this, some authors advocate embedding ethical issues into every aspect of the teaching of technical material. They do not even support reserving one or a few lectures on ethics within a technical course. There is some experience of the main professor failing to show up for guest lectures on ethics. Those professors apparently fail to understand that such behavior in itself is a more powerful, and adverse, lesson to the students than anything the guest lecturer could say. Teaching statistical ethics is not necessarily simpler than defining the term for the full range of practitioners.
Good solutions depend on the wisdom, dedication, and enthusiasm of individual teachers.
No one approach will fit all teachers or classes. It seems reasonable that ASA can only set ethical standards for its own discipline. Furthermore, not all professional statisticians are members of ASA or of the affiliated societies represented at the Joint Statistical Meetings. Arguably, much more statistical research is done without the participation of professional statisticians than with them. The ASA Committee on Professional Ethics can accept responsibility for coordinating the effort.
