Even though Professor Ramirez deviated from the college’s policy regarding plagiarism, do you feel that she acted ethically? Even though Professor Julia Ramirez broke the college's plagiarism policy, she still acted morally. In this case, the ethic was very important because Professor Ramirez demonstrated responsibility and consideration. Even though she didn't alert the student review board to the plagiarism, she took the school's policy into account and gave Kelly's assignment a grade of 0. She also considers Kelly's challenging circumstance, which is that if the school finds plagiarism, she will be expelled. Professor Ramirez expressed sympathy for Kelly's need to devote a lot of time to caring for her cancer-stricken mother. By exercising consideration and compassion, Professor Ramirez behaved morally.

If you were a student in this class and learned Professor Ramirez made an exception for this student, would you think she acted ethically? Explain. Yes, if I were a student in Professor Ramirez's class and saw that she was given a pass for failing to inform the student review board of Kelly's case of plagiarism, I would still view Professor Ramirez as a moral authority. Kelly was accused of plagiarism, but it was obvious that this was because she had to spend a lot of time caring for her mom, who had cancer. Kelly was in a challenging situation, and Professor Ramirez thought about the implications of bringing
the matter before the student review board before deciding to give Kelly another chance.Professor Ramirez is a kind person who cares a lot about other people. She is a moral leader who values the common good because she personally believes that if Kelly's

mother had not been diagnosed with cancer, she would have chosen to be genuine rather than plagiarize.

In Table 12.1, the Six Pillars of Character are detailed. Which of these six pillars did Professor Ramirez display in consideration for her student, and how? A strong character, Professor Ramirez is a leader. Professor Ramirez demonstrated the six pillars of reliability, decency, responsibility, and compassion in the case. She initially demonstrated
her dependability by having the guts to act morally. Even though it was against school policy, she decided not to report Kelly's case to the student review board based on her personal values. One must be considerate of others in order to be respected. Kelly's challenging circumstance was taken into consideration by Professor Ramirez before she came to a decision. Professor Ramirez also thought about the repercussions of reporting the problem before deciding not to. Once plagiarism has been proven by the student review board, the student will be expelled in accordance with school policy. Kelly will lose her job offer if she is expelled from school, which is bad for both Kelly and the institution. The act of responsibility was shown. Professor Ramirez demonstrated his compassion by sympathizing with Kelly's difficult situation and pardoning her error. Professor Ramirez believes that everyone makes mistakes and should be given another chance. She became a stronger ethical leader as a result of Professor Ramirez's indulgence in this case.

solution for the issue, taking into account the viewpoints of the school and the student. Since plagiarism is prohibited by school policy, Kelly's work was fairly given a grade of 0.
