Names of Students:

Answer the following questions:

1) Brief summary of the case (note any related individuals, their titles and other
government agencies)

2) What should you, the young planner in this case, do now? It is necessary or appropriate to
report your suspicions to anyone? If so, to whom? Whose number should you dial and
why?

3) If you fail to report your suspicions in this case, are you guilty of an ethical violation? If
so, why? Should a person who fails to report such information be subject to any sort of
penalty? If you don’t think that you, as the planner in this circumstance, have an
obligation to pursue the matter, what are your reason?

4) What would the ASPA code of ethics advise you to do? Was any of the code of ethics
violated? If so, which ones and why?

5) Assume your trusted neighbor works at the Windham Journal. Would it be a good idea to
leak your suspicions to that person, even if you ask it to be “off the record”? What would
be the consequences?

6) Do you think you should be able to make a report about your suspicions anonymously?

7) Assuming that you decide to report something to someone, what exactly will you report?
Would you say something just about your boss, just about Fogarty, or about both of
them? Why?

8) Is there anything that can be done to avoid, or at least minimize, unethical behavior in
public administration in general? How about in this case particular?
