Ethical Storm: Instructor's 'Creative' Admissions Tactics Spark Debate
A college board instructor's mention of 'creative' techniques to manipulate the elite college admissions process has sparked an ethical debate. Tony Freeport, a student struggling with standardized tests, heard these methods in a prep session led by Professor Henderson. The instructor, while not explicitly endorsing them, acknowledged their use and compared them to inflating credentials.
Tony, who spends considerable time in college prep app sessions, learned about these techniques firsthand. An instructor discussed methods such as creating a fake honor society, as a previous student had done, to bolster résumés. However, the instructor did not explicitly advise students to use such tactics.
The article presents an ethical dilemma: is using these techniques acceptable, and is it ethical for the instructor to mention them? It encourages readers to consider what makes an action ethical or unethical, and whether comparisons between techniques should influence decisions. The article suggests discussing these aspects with students and having them rank questionable techniques from most to least ethical.
The mention of 'creative' techniques in college prep sessions has raised important ethical questions. While the instructor did not explicitly endorse these methods, their acknowledgment has sparked debate. Tony Freeport and other students must now consider the implications and decide how to approach their college applications ethically.
