Although the professor, Dr. Guerrero, was disciplined by the university and warned that any reoccurrence would lead to dismal. Karissa Fenwick, however, was disappointed that he was not terminated after the university determined that misconduct had occurred (Flaherty, 2017).

The danger of ethical breaches is that they are a fundamental change in the ethics of your organization. When an ethical breach occurs, you must move quickly to repair the damage to your organization and then analyze the nature of the breach; determine whether the violation was unethical and whether it should incite a change in your rules or lead to severe punishment for the person who initiated the breach (Hammond, Kristyn).
