We do have an undergraduate elective ethics course in Bloomington, and it is taught by a JD.  In fact, all of our sections of all of our courses are taught by JDs.  Some have other degrees as well.

Subject:        Re: Legal Environment of Business

Fresno State's "legal environment" course is 4 units for the semester.
We don't have an undergraduate business ethics course, but the MBA
course has been taught by JDs, tho I understand that a management PhD
taught a section in one of the MBA programs last semester (we have at
least 2 MBA programs, maybe 3). We incorporate some business ethics into
the 4-unit undergraduate course.

The support for your position might include an analysis of your business
curriculum for legal aspects that should be covered. If your dean or
faculty want to cut back from 3 units to 2, you could present your list
of legal aspects to all departments and ask each which should be
deleted.  Yours, JDR.
