·         Create a solution that would prevent the ethical violation that you identified in the scenario.

: You work for a college as an admissions representative. Your co-worker has finally decided to apply for the college master’s degree program. He has taken the entrance tests and scored well. However, your co-worker has shared with you that he received a denial letter for admission in the mail stating that there is not enough space to allow him into the program. As part of your job as an admissions representative, you both have access to the selection process, and student demographic information (race, nationality, gender, etc.). Upon accessing this information, you learn that your co-worker has also accessed this information. Upon doing so, he learned most the students selected were African American and Latino students. Your co-worker shares with you that he believes he has been done a disservice by affirmative action laws as an Asian male. Your co-worker asks your advice on if he should reach out to your university’s affirmative action department to file a complaint.
