| A small ethical dilemma |
[Mar. 25th, 2008|03:36 pm] |
Holy %3@&! I just checked my mailbox at the history department, and one of my students has given me two tickets to a hockey game. They're worth $146 apiece. If I was still working for politicians, I would have to report a gift of that size to the Integrity Commissioner's office and get their permission to accept it. However, I don't think the University of Toronto has anything resembling an Integrity Commissioner or a policy on bribery.
The most expensive gift I've accepted from a student in the past was a box of chocolates. As I recall, that experience ended with me being twice as careful to give her paper a strictly justifiable grade, and her making a tearful complaint to the course professor because she got a B when she was expecting an A. So this could easily go sour.
What do you guys think? Should I accept the tickets? If I decline them, how do I do it graciously? |
