Modern technology and the subsequent flow of information have created an era of unprecedented transparency in all sectors of society including higher education. This transparency has brought to the forefront the need for higher education leaders to act ethically even when faced with governmental interventions with which they disagree. In this assignment, you will discuss the ethical implications of higher education leaders responding to governmental interventions that could be characterized as detrimental to the institution.

Directions:
Write a paper  in which you discuss the ethical implications of higher education leaders responding to governmental interventions that could be characterized as detrimental to the institution. Include the following in your paper: 

A research-based description of a recent governmental intervention that could be characterized as detrimental to a higher education institution.
A research-based discussion of the institution’s potential responses to the intervention and the likely consequences of each response. Is there a way to ethically oppose the intervention?
A research-based discussion of the response that you identified above that is the most ethical response. Is the most ethical response also the best response for the institution in the short term? Does that response produce long-term benefits that could offset potential short-term losses?
