Assignment:

Re-read the text box on page 42 (Ethics and the Law)

Part I

First- 3-5 sentences about your initial thoughts when you first heard about this story. If you do not recall hearing about this on the news, then write about your reaction after reading about this story from your textbook.

Part II

We are going to examine times when some of the "players" (and I use that term loosely when I refer to the students) in this scenario could have or should have had second thoughts and/or evaluated their actions before proceeding.

Players

William Singer

Proctors who took tests or changed scores

Parents

Student applicants who obviously knew they were not athletes

Key Worldwide Foundation Bookkeepers and decision-makers

The Yale Soccer Coach

Resolving ethical dilemmas

Blanchard and Peale Three-Part Test

The Front Page of the Newspaper Test

The Laura Nash Model

Instructions:

1. Choose 2 different "players"

2. For each - describe the behavior or the decision that was unethical.

3. Then choose one of the methods for resolving ethical dilemmas:

• Describe the steps of that method,
• and demonstrate how or when, your chosen player could have made a different decision by using your chosen method. (In other words, exactly what could have happened if your chosen player actually went through each of the steps or answered the questions involved in a particular method). Do not simply say that Mr. S should have used the front page of the newspaper model and none of this would have happened. Support your position using facts and specific information about resolving.
