See the "zane corbin, accounting major" case for this question. assume you were a member of the panel that presided over the academic misconduct hearing involving zane corbin. given just the information provided in the case, how would you have voted at the conclusion of the hearing? defend your answer.

Assuming I was a member of the voting panel that presided over the academic misconduct hearing involving Zane Corbin, I would have found him guilty of misconduct.

Explanation:

In order to see this impartially, we must take into consideration and contrast all the facts provided by both Ann Herrick and Zane Corbin.

Ann Herrick states:

- Corbin was never a member of the Beta Alpha Psi organization.

- Corbin had the need to increase his chances of winning the Upchurch Medal.

- The accounting profession has a code of ethics.

Zane Corbin states:

- He received over the last 2 years, e-mails from the organization and assumed being a member just for getting them.

- He attended different events during that time.

- He admitted never have read the list of requirements for becoming a member because he was busy doing homework during those meetings.

Corbin received over the last two years e-mails from the organization. That explains why he thought he had a membership in Beta Alpha Psi organization.

Herrick states if Corbin would have put attention to the PowerPoint presentation or read with detail the e-mails, he would have been aware of the requirements to be a member, which he didn’t meet.

Corbin attended different events during that time but Herrick explained that not all events or fairs were considered official events.

Also, we must consider in all of this, how the decision was taken in order to choose the winner of the Medal. During the reunion of the committee (integrated by 6 people including Goggans, former chairman of the Finance Department), they decided to reduce the number of finalists from ten to five. After this, each of them chose their favorite 3 and then voted, the result was a  tie between Zane and Buchanan, so Goggans decided to excuse himself and asked the others to vote again in order to break the tie; given Goggans had voted for Buchanan, the final voting resulted in favor of Zane. Basically, Goggans had the final decision on his hands.

Nevertheless, we must ponder that all the members of the committee received a copy of the vitas, they should have gone through all of them carefully verifying all the information, if they had, they would have noticed that Corbin was not a member of Beta Alpha Psi organization.

Despite of the voting by the committee was a little affected by Goggans decision, we can conclude that Corbin was aware, although he never admitted it, he was not a member of the Beta Alpha Psi organization but decided to add it to his vita to improve the chances of getting the Medal, showing lack of ethics by doing it so.

dear friend:

  i hope this letter finds you in soaring spirits and vibrant health. as you had expressed the wish to know about culture, traditions, and unity of india in your previous letter, in the following lines i have tried my best to give you glimpses of our culture, traditions, and unity. you will be amazed to know that our culture is the oldest culture in the world and the birth place of hinduism, buddhism, jainism, and sikhism. you won’t find any other culture as varied and multi-colored, multi-lingual as ours. each region has its own unique culture, traditions, language. there are 22 official languages in india.

  basically, india is a spiritual country with orthodox traditions. for example the people of india believe in traditions set by their wise forefathers. arranged marriages, joint-family system, universal brotherhood, vegetarianism, celebrating festivals such as diwali, holi, eid, etc., are the salient features of our culture and traditions.

  another unique aspect about our country is ‘unity in diversity’. in spite of the multi-lingual, multi-religious, multi-traditional, multi-cultural society, people live peacefully together, respecting one another’s views, cultures, traditions, and differences. i am sure you would love to visit india soon, and have a first-hand experience of the multi-colored culture. give regards to uncle and aunt. do visit india with your family and experience our hospitality.

your friend,
