In 2014, the Rutland Institute for Ethics Advisory Board decided to name the Institute’s highest honor after James F. Barker, the 14th president of Clemson University, in recognition of the ways he has exemplified integrity, thereby bringing ethics into focus in the best possible way: by living it. The James F. Barker Ethics in Action Award is an ongoing and constructive way to recognize and encourage commitment to ethical conduct and the value of integrity. Barker himself received the inaugural Ethics in Action Award in 2014.
