Ethics

What ethics are being broken? If a admissions representative is interviewing a candidate and the person has a visible handicap for being slow at communicating. However, the candidate passes the entrance exam. The registration fee is not paid because the candidate lives in a assisted living center with no job. The DOA allows the student to attend class and the first night the student is in a altercation with another student and harassment charges are filed against this candidate with a handicap. What could have admission done to prevent this?

Picking and Choosing

Like most schools, we have a school catalog that outlines the "rules" for the campus. It has admission guidelines as well. Why is it that some campus' choose to ignore some of the rules but tend to enforce others. I was taught integrity. If we say we are going to do something, it should be done. The catalog is our way of saying we are going to do something. Are there some items in a catalog that can be more flexible? Example: We require a registration fee to be paid before entrance per the catalog. We also require background checks, entrance test, and personality screening. Most of the time the registration fee is ignored while the other items are enforced before acceptance and registration fee is collected at a later date after class start.

Backrounds Check

This is definitely a must. Especially in the education industry, we want to make sure that our stds are protected from everyone.
