Summarizing the Board's Decision

Scroll down through the text of the case to the "Conclusion" section. This section presents direct judgments on the questioned facts from the chronology. For each questioned fact, you will need to create a three-line summary of the board's decision of that fact. These summaries are placed in the transcript under the heading, "The Board's Analysis."

Questioned Fact(s) [number]:

If there is more than one questioned fact, replace the word number with the number of the question. That is, "Question 1" or "Q1" in the case becomes "Questioned Fact(s) 1" in the transcript.

To the right of this label, add the number of the questioned fact from the fact chronology.

Questioned Actor or Actors:

To the right of this label, list the actor or actors whose actions are being questioned in this fact.

The Board's Conclusion:

To the right of this label, add the decision of the board. Only one of two words is valid; either the decision is "Ethical" or it is "Unethical."

Q1. It was unethical for Engineer A to notify clients of Engineer B that Engineer A was planning to start a firm and would appreciate being considered for work while still in the employ of Engineer B.

This is the first questioned fact, so change the label to say, "Questioned Fact(s) 1".

It corresponds to fact number four in the chronology, so enter "Fact 4" next to that label.
Engineer A's action was questioned, so add "Engineer A" next to the second label.
The board's decision was "Unethical", so add this next to the final label.
 

Q2. It was not unethical for Engineer B to distribute a previously printed brochure listing Engineer A as a key employee provided Engineer B apprised the prospective client during the negotiation of-Engineer A's pending termination.

This is the second questioned fact, so change the label to say, "Questioned Fact(s) 2".

It corresponds to fact number five in the chronology, so enter "Fact 5" next to that label.
Engineer B's action was questioned, so add "Engineer B" next to the second label.
The board's decision was "not unethical", so add the word "Ethical" next to the final label.
 

Q3. It was unethical for Engineer B to distribute a brochure listing Engineer A as a key employee after Engineer A's actual termination.

This is the third questioned fact, so change the label to say, "Questioned Fact(s) 3".

It corresponds to fact number seven in the chronology, so enter "Fact 7" next to that label.
Engineer B's action was questioned, so add "Engineer B" next to the second label.
The board's decision was "unethical", so add that next to the final label.
