Answer these following questions for the Case Study: In Hacking into Harvard",

DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. Suppose that you had been one of the MBA applicants who stumbled across an opportunity to learn your results early. What would you have done, and why? Would you have considered it a moral decision? If so, on what basis would you have made it?

2. Assess the morality of what the curious applicants did from the point of view of egoism, utilitarianism, Kant's ethics, Ross's pluralism, and rule utilitarianism.

3. In your view, was it wrong for the MBA applicants to take an unauthorized peek at their application files? Explain why you consider what they did morally permissible or impermissible. What obligations, ideals, and effects should the applicants have considered? Do you think, as some have suggested, that there is a generation gap on this issue?

4. Did Harvard and MIT overreact, or was it necessary for them to respond as they did in order to send a strong message about the importance of ethics? If you were a business-school admissions official, how would you have handled this situation?
