Ethical Dilemma 1 This situation is definitely one that is an ethical dilemma. Evan is the business dean at Youngtown Community College. He has made the decision to modify the recruitment, selection and hiring process to replace Art by hiring David who is unqualified for the position. David wants this position once he completes his Master’s degree, but currently he only has his Bachelor’s degree. Evan has even gone to the length to change the job description to exactly describe David. He has brought his thoughts in regards to hiring David in this position to Mary the department chair for business and accounting. After hearing this news from Evan, Mary is shocked. This is unethical because this is not the usual procedure for hiring a new employee and this decision is not fair to the other candidates that may be perfectly qualified for the position and could potentially be a better asset in that position. There is a committee who is supposed to …show more content…
His actions shed light on the power that those in leadership positions possess. Evan marked the information as “confidential.” This shows that he knew his actions were unethical. If he were doing things the right way there would be no reason for him to keep this a secret. The dean’s behavior is very biased. Evan likes David and wants to give him a position he did not earn. Evan has the power to hire who he wants. Evan’s behavior is somewhat typical of some leaders who have power that they can and do use to their advantage. Over 85% of jobs are gotten by referrals or networking. Although a lot of networking and referrals are done in an ethical manner, there are many cases where jobs are given unethically. Evan and David have a close companion relationship even to the point where their families celebrate certain holidays and have lunch together. Their close knit relationship could be playing a huge role in Evan’s

I believe that the Student Code of Conduct should be retained to protect individuals from demeaning or uncomfortable comments such as racism, sexism, and homophobism. All members of Newberry College deserve an environment that provides maximum academic and personal growth. For that reason, Newberry College Student Code of Conduct should be retained because it unequivocally addresses all forms of ethnic, religious, cultural or radical intolerance on the part of students, faculty, staff and visitors. All members of the Newberry College community should be responsible for creating and respecting conditions in the classroom and campus that courage teaching and learning in an atmosphere of academic freedom.

Joan rejected this position having cared more about academic integrity, than money, or prestige.
Like many other colleges Austin Community College has reasonable rules, policies, and procedures which students and faculty must abide by however there is one policy that I feel should be completely revised or better yet discarded. ACC requires students who did not score high enough on the mathematics and English sections of the SAT or TAKS test to enroll in remedial level courses. Students are also given the option to take a placement test known as the TSI. The problem here is that some students go to community college not because they aren’t smart enough to attend a university or they didn’t have a high enough GPA in high school but, simply because they don’t test well.
