With the core objectives of assessing the nexus between University, Cultural Diversity and Ethics, in accommodating multiculturalism in Ethiopian university.  The findings are more emphasized and analyzed qualitatively in light of primary sources gathered by interviewing of informants from student from different university, work colleagues and personal observation of the researcher. On the other hand, secondary sources were used in order to address the basic objectives of the research. To this end, the study used Descriptive survey research design for collecting data from the study area. The findings of this study indicate that ethics played uncountable role in building moral attitude of student in order to find what right, best is, and moral for those involved in multicultural society. And also ethics played paramount role in order to students acquire different knowledge and art of communication, resolving disputes, culture, values and norms and way of life of their friends in the university. On the other hand, ethics impeded by the development of narrow nationalism and the feeling of sectionalism among student and some teachers in the university and also, ethnicization of  education system in the country had produced ‘tapered minded’ students on the basis of their belongingness such as ethnicity, religion, language and culture. In addition to this, Social media highly affected the implementation ethics in Ethiopian higher institution which is used by irresponsible activist who counted themselves as representatives of their ethnic groups. Finally, the study comes up with the conclusion that the implementation of ethics in Ethiopian university in encouraging diversity is less marked and requires more effort from different stakeholders.
