Like most students at Arizona University, Ahmed was a student and spent twenty hours each week working
Question:
Several months passed and Bill became more popular. Every day someone stopped by the library desk where he worked and talked to Bill. The person walked to one of the library's computers, stuck in a disk, and several minutes later was gone. Ahmed looked at Bill and shook his head. Bill responded with a smile. One day, Ahmed found an envelope with his name on it when he went to his usual desk. When he opened it, there was five hundred dollars with a note saying, 'Enjoy." He started to ask people about the money, but then saw Bill smiling. At that moment, Ahmed knew the money was from Bill. He tried to give it back, but Bill refused to take it or admit he had given it to Ahmed in the first place.
Ahmed became increasingly uncomfortable with Bill's behavior. He knew what Bill did was wrong and possibly illegal. He didn't want to be involved with it in any way, but he also didn't want to become a snitch. Now he was receiving money for his involvement. Ahmed felt the situation was escalating and he should say something to his supervisor before something really bad happened, but he didn't want to be the one to get Bill in trouble. Ahmed knew Bill could be expelled for something like this, which could potentially damage his entire future. Then again, Ahmed had his own future to worry about. Could he be expelled just for knowing what kind of activities Bill was involved in? What should he do with the money Bill gave him? What might happen if he doesn't blow the whistle? Are Bill's actions an ethical issue, a legal issue, or both? Explain your reasoning.
