BUA Ethics Bowl Team Wins MA Annual High School Bowl
This week, the BUA Ethics Bowl Team competed at — and won! — the Annual High School Ethics Bowl at Tufts University. This year’s team is comprised of Hana Kaneko ‘ 27, Geneva Kelleher ’27, Leone Levi D’Ancona ’27, Leo Barabasi ’27, Margaret Brown ’28, and Tessa Rice ’28, and is coached by Dr. Jim Davis.
The team not only won this year’s bowl but went undefeated through five rounds of competition against schools including BB&N, Philips Academy, the Winsor School, and Deerfield Academy — a testament to all their hard work and preparation. Among the questions discussed were “should courts permit AI-generated victim statements” and “does offering sentence reductions in exchange for organs count as coercion in a prison context”? The team now goes to the regional competition. If they win this round, it’s off to nationals in Chapel Hill. Kudos to all on an impressive competition!
