This article is one of those topics.<\/p>\n<p>I know that even some of my best educated, most ethically-respected colleagues will disagree with a point or two on this list. For example, some may think that it is fine to<a href=\"https:\/\/www.certitrek.com\/nlpa\/blog\/soliciting-donations-from-suppliers-your-thoughts\"> solicit donations from suppliers<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>But here\u2019s the thing with me: if an activity is questionable ethically, I have the tendency to recommend avoiding that activity as a rule. Yes, even if it can be proven to be above-board.<\/p>\n<p>So, there is no doubt that someone, somewhere will argue that at least one of the checklist items is \u201cwrong.\u201d That\u2019s fine.
