The AUB Neighborhood Initiative: Social Responsibility in a University’s Backyard

Chapter 8 in CSR in the Middle East, 2012, pp 158-175 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Some might find it surprising to see a chapter about a university in a book on corporate social responsibility (CSR). However, like businesses, many universities are now asking how they can be more socially responsible ‘citizens’ of their communities. Many of the same forces are at work in businesses and at universities to encourage new thinking and action on social responsibility, ranging from the basic utilitarian pressures to generate good publicity to the realignment of core business practices and relationships around clearly articulated ethical principles.
