Richard Richards Institute for Ethics

Advocating Ethical Leadership Locally, Nationally, Globally

The Richard Richards Institute for Ethics at Weber State University promotes ethical behavior at all levels of government and business. We teach and inspire ethics, encourage active participation in public service, promote political reform and provide scholarships to students committed to ethical leadership.

"I want to demonstrate, through my life's own experiences, that young people with reasonable ability, a strong desire to do well, the patience to build from one strength to the next, and a willingness to work hard can become major players in the political organizations of the United States. It is not easy. It takes commitment and some sacrifice, but it can be done. … At a time when the future of democracy seems precarious, I feel strongly about lifting an affirming voice for its values." Richard Richards, former chairman of the Republican National Committee
