arguably, the world's best BSchool, the hallowed portals of HARVARD has drawn a new line of ethics for those would be managers!! one hundred and thirty nine of its applicants for the forthcoming academic year have been ousted from the list of applicants for hacking into a security flaw on the HBS website.. the students 'hacked' the site to look at the list of candidates shorlisted for the next round of admission process well before the list was officially out.. HBS spokesperson was very firm on making their new line of thought on corporate ethics pretty clear.. the news is all the more relevant when we have numerous corporate scams rocking america..
i was not surprised to hear the same act repeating at Stanford, Warton, Dartmouth, Duke and MIT Sloan... me wondering why all these BSchool sites got hacked during the admission times? and if a candidate 'happened to' bump on to the confidential info accidentally, why blame it on his ethics? if there was ever a deliberate 'hacking' in any of the said Websites, i am with the adcom for sure.. after all, for any individual, success in any career is marked by remarkable personal integrity and a clean sense of responsibility for his/her actions..
anyways, the BSchools are enjoying the last laugh, i guess... something to watch out for the Biz aspirants.... it would be interesting to see how the whole bunch of issues turn out to be in the days ahead...
so long
