ETHICAL SITUATION #3

 

You are attending a regional conference in Orlando, Florida along with five other students from your institution. The night before the group is scheduled to return to campus, one of the students is arrested for public intoxication and is jailed. He nor the other students have enough cash for bail, and his parents cannot be reached to wire him money. He begs you, the advisor, to lend him the organization's emergency cash so that he doesn't have to spend the night in jail; he'll repay you as soon as his parents send money. The group is scheduled to leave at 8:00 a.m., one hour before the Western Union office opens.

 

What do you do?
