Q & A Spot

Q: I have a tough ethical situation I have to deal with. How do I know if I am making the best decision?
A: When faced with a potential ethical situtation at work, ask yourself:
1.Is it legal?
2.Does it comply with University policies, procedures, and workplace rules?
3.Does it meet our values and standards of conduct?
4.Would it look “OK” if printed on the cover of the New York Times?
5.Would I make a different choice if it were happening to me or someone close to me?
6.Would it be OK if everyone did this?
7.Does it violate any of my own values?
8.Would the most ethical person I know do the same thing?
