Question No.1:
After reading the case study “Late Confession”, discuss the
ethical issues this case raises, both for Dr. Lewis and for
University of Washington officials. Evaluate Jeanne Wilson’s
analysis, especially as it might apply to engineers.
Ethical Issues for Dr. Lewis:
As Dr. Lewis cheated in his final exam of doctorate and he remains in the guilt of
cheating throughout his career. He is of 82 years and still he is in guilt doing cheating is
unethical but he decides to write a letter about his truth to university. So, university should
forgive him because he is too old for any kind of action of sealing his degree.
Ethical Issues for University of Washington Officials:
According to the rules of University of Washington is a place where cheating is
totally unethical. If university didn’t revoke the degree of Dr. Lewis many other students who
are doing cheating would never feel guilty because they will have no fear of any action taken
against him.
