| My son just graduated from Northeastern University's Khoury College of Computer Sciences. At his Khoury College graduation celebration a week ago, this is the first time that the following oath was recited by the graduating class: KHOURY COLLEGE OATH FOR COMPUTING Today, I join the ranks of computer scientists worldwide. I will remember that I remain a member of society, with special obligations to all my fellow human beings. I will design and build computing systems that enhance the quality of daily life for individuals and for society. I will protect the dignity of users and others affected by computing systems, respecting the diversity of all cultures, and safeguarding against threats to health and safety. I will respect the privacy and rights of all people and recognize the special role I have in judiciously collecting, storing and using their information, and creating systems that aim to shape their behavior. I will work for fair wages; honorably guarding my reputation and my colleagues in our work practices, while respecting the intellectual contributions of others. I will improve the public understanding of computing and its consequences. May I always act to preserve the finest traditions of my field, and may I long experience the joy of inventing the future through my endeavors. |
What does this mean? What's an example of an unfair wage?
