| Summary: | This case addresses acceptable use policies (AUPS) and the legal and ethical issues related to the discovery of illegal materials on an employee’s organization-issued computer. The case also provides a context for student research and discussion of several other topics, including policy notifications to users, privacy laws, an employee’s right to privacy in the workplace, use of whistleblower hotlines, and conditions leading to a hostile work environment. The student materials include detailed background and context information for the organization and individuals involved. Topical discussion questions are provided to guide students through the learning process and provide a framework for classroom discussion. The case can be effectively adapted for a variety of accounting, information systems, and ethics courses.
