Personal question · Ethics, Professionalism

Taking it higher

Reporting a coworker or classmate to someone with authority can protect people. It can also damage a relationship or a reputation over something you only partly understood.

The two questions

  1. 1Tell us about a time you saw someone you worked or studied alongside doing something you believed was wrong and had to decide whether to take it to a person with authority. What did you weigh, and what did you do?
  2. 2What was the result, and how do you feel now about what you did?

What raters look for

Ethics
Weighs competing duties honestly, protects people from harm, and stays accountable to rules and values.
Professionalism
