C3TV - Hacking Ethics in Education edit / delete

"At the University of Amsterdam, we have started an ethical committee for the System and Network Engineering Master." Interesting to me because I run the ethics committee for the department I'm in at work (and we're about to pick up a load of security-related student projects). I suspect a follow-up presentation next year might be more interesting, though, since it sounds like they didn't have any ethics framework in place before (?! -- how on earth do they do funded projects?). Comprehensible in audio only.
