Read the following caselet and choose the best alternative:
Prof. Vijya, the chairperson of the Faculty Academic Committee (FAC), was trying to understand the implications of decisions taken by the Student Placement Committee (SPC) on placement issues.
It was alleged that Biswajit, a final year student, inflated his grades in his bio-data that was sent to the recruiters. The President of SPC requested the FAC to debar Biswajit from the campus recruitment process. When the matter was brought up for discussion in FAC, one of theprofessors remarked that Biswajit too should be allowed to defend himself. When Biswajit arrived for the meeting the situation became even more challenging.
Biswajit raised the issue that many other students who had misrepresented grades to get coveted jobs had gone scot-free. He alleged that these students were close to the President of SPC and therefore, no action was taken against them. He stated that somebody has deliberately manipulated his grades in the bio-data.
This allegation confused the members and it was decided to adjourn the meeting. Vijya was to decide on the next course of action.
If you were Vijya what in your opinion would be the most appropriate action?
The caselet presents a complicated problem making it difficult to find out the guilty. The best way to proceed in cases like these is to launch an investigation into the matter so as to find out that who is at fault. Thus, the most appropriate course of action to be followed is presented by option C - Vijya should constitute a fact finding committee to investigate the matter and then decide about the next step to be taken. Options A and B are inappropriate because these steps could be taken only after finding out the person at fault. Option D is eliminated as involving the corporate recruiters in the matter will only aggravate the issue and bring a bad name to the college. An effort should be made to try and solve the problem internally rather than publicizing it.
