Assignment:

A company's employee is arrested for running a scam website and the company's name is all over the news. The person had been hired into the company's IT department to work at the help desk and it turns out that he was on parole for another felony. The employee had not lied in his application about being on parole, but according to the company's policies the hiring manager did not get to see the whole personnel file for new hires.

a) Did the HR staff that should have reported to the hiring manager the candidate's conviction and parole commit an ethical lapse, or was it just a clerical error?

b) The company reacted to this case by prohibiting the hiring of anyone with a felony conviction for any position. Do you think this is an ethically valid practice for this, or any, company, to block hiring any felon? Discuss this question using the deontology and utilitarianism moral stances.
