By unilaterally denying the accused trespassers the opportunity of any
judicial review, Harvard may have inadvertently sent the opposite message to what they intended. They have lost sight of the principle that ethics serves fairness, not the converse. By sending the message that ethics is paramount, at the expense of fairness, the Harvard Business School has created the appearance of being from a different planet than the Harvard Law School. One is put in mind of the small business owner who was inadvertently
overpaid by a client, and mindful of the commandment "Thou shalt not be unethical" drummed into him in business school, concluded that it would unprincipled of him to keep this good news from his partner.
With the very institutions that are supposed to teach sound business
principles confused on this point, no wonder so many executives run afoul of the law. Vaughan Pratt
