Exercise 1

Eagle Gate College hired an admission consultant from Stevens-Henager College (Janna Miller). Ms. Miller hired others from Stevens-Henager to join her at Eagle Gate. Those who came along to join Ms. Miller also brought along lists of potential students for recruiting purposes. Those lists of potential students are very valuable to for-profit colleges because of the need for new students. In addition, the information left behind at Stevens-Henager was altered so that the database of potential recruits could not be reached due to incorrect phone numbers and/or e-mails. Stevens-Henager could not contact the potential students from their own database. Are there ethical issues in this situation? Or is this just competition? [ Stevens-Henager College v. Eagle Gate College , 248 P.3d 1025 (Utah 2011).]
