You are Vice Principal of a degree college in a middle-class town; the principal retired and management may promote you. During annual examinations, the university flying squad catches two students red-handed using unfair means, personally helped by a senior lecturer close to the management — one student the son of a local politician who got the college affiliated, the other the son of the biggest donor businessman. You inform management; they tell you to resolve it with the flying squad at any cost, hinting your promotion depends on it, while the student union protests outside demanding strict action. (a) Discuss the ethical issues involved. (b) Critically examine your options as Vice Principal. Which will you adopt and why?
