College costs in our country continue to soar, often far beyond the rate of inflation. A four-year education at many of our highest-rated schools can cost a family more than $400,000. Those that are “more reasonable” are still far out of reach for millions. Our Roundtable discussion will include an examination of the inequities created, and allowed, by our colleges and universities. And how we can provide affordable education opportunities for a greater number of our young people.

Once each month, on Sunday mornings, the Westchester Community for Ethical Culture offers a forum for discussion and debate on a wide variety of topics – some controversial, some vexing, some puzzling, but all requiring careful examination in an ethical context. This series is known as the Living Ethics Roundtable. It is open to WCEC members and non-members alike; there is no fee, nor any requirement to participate other than a willingness to exchange thoughts and opinions with respect and civility.
The format for the Living Ethics Roundtable sessions is simple:
- We begin at 10:30 a.m. with a light, mid-morning refreshment – coffee, tea, pastries.
- At 11:00 a.m., we gather in the large meeting room for a brief orientation to the day’s topic, and to distribute worksheets for discussions that will follow.
- We then divide into two or three groups – the roundtables. Each roundtable group is moderated by a designated facilitator.
The discussions are planned to last approximately 45 minutes. Participants then reconvene in the large meeting room to share highlights and conclusions of the roundtable discourse. Please come – Your voice and opinions are important!!!!
