ETHICAL SITUATION #2

You are attending a National Convention in Dallas, Texas. This is a convention annually attended by MTSU students and staff. The convention registration fees and other expenses are paid by the university. After one day of attending the convention, your only staff advisor in attendance drives to Wichita Falls (about 3 hours away) to visit their significant other. The advisor uses the university van for this purpose. On the way back to Dallas two days later, the advisor is involved in an auto accident (not their fault). The van cannot be driven. It is necessary to rent two cars in order to get the delegation home. When everyone arrives back to campus, you learn that the advisor has told university administrators that the accident occu rred when you went to get gas for the trip home. No explanation is offered to explain why the van is three hours from where the delegation was staying.

The students on the trip know the real story.

What would you do?
