1~.gi1hl?s9~rd Said to Help .. ·0th er ·Doctors Gala! S. Gough, president of the state I Board of Medical Quality Assurance, and I board member J. Alfred Ride played key roles in implementing and maintaining the board's two-year moratorium on post-1975 Vietnamese graduates Ii· censes, according to James R. W~eat~n, supervising attorney with the ~ mvers1ty 0 ~iego Center for Pubhc Inter~st Lav, and the lead attorney for the plain· tiffs. Bu( the plaintiffs cite two incid~nts in claiming that, during the same penod, Gough and Rider had no qua_lms about pushing the board to grant hcenses . to non-Vietnamese gradua tes of for eign ,schools with dubious credentials. Wheaton said after an Iranian applicant • failed an oral exam, Gough ordered the 1division to allow the Iranian to take th~ test again. The action came after a pn· vale meeting during which the applicant , 'tharged he had b een the victim of di~J:rimination. 1 ' The day of the second test, said Whea· 1 ton Gough violated division rules and pe/4onally administered the ~m to the . Iranian in a separate room without a sec• ond proctor present. Later, Gough 1 emerged from the room and said the Ira· nian had passed the test. Gough called Wheaton' s versio~ of the inddent a lie. He recalled the Iranian had complained to him that the division had denied him an opportunity even to take the exam because he lacked one docu• ment verifying his education. Gough said he told the division staff to let the Iranian take the exam, but not make the results available until the docu• ment was produced. After the applicant took and failed the test, Gough recalled, the Iranian complained to him about discrimination. ' Gough said he told the Iranian to re-ap- ply to take the exam and that he would be atthe test site to ' 'ensure you're not dis- ~riminated against." Gough acknowl- edged he personally gave the exam to the Iranian, but added, "He wasn't the only one examined by me. I gave him a very ,thorough exam, a very fair exam, and he pa.ssed the exam."

they've gotten more exposed. "It looks like the way the public expects leaders to behave is the same as it was a hundred years ago. They're just more vocal about it." Evans said that means that managers have to be more careful than in the past or they might wind up the subject ofpublic criticism. It may be a good idea for an or- ganization to consider coming up with an ethical code of conduct. Evans gave three reasons why an organization should have one: • It helps employees understand what is right and wrong in the eyes of the organization. , • A code creates a basis for ar countability; employees cannot claim they didn't know something , was wrong. • It helps prevent governmental regulation. But he also added three reasons why a n organizat ion might con- sider not having a code: • Some codes are simply "win dow-dressing" lacking substance. • Some employees may t hink that anything not specifically referred to in the code is accept- able. • Codes are no substitute for ethical leadership. So, what can a n organizat ion do to promote a more ethical at- mosphere? • Create clear policies to define ethical conduct in t he organization and make t he values known to or- ganization members. • A strong commitment should be made to these values. • Standards of beha vior should be established by example: "Walk the way you talk." • People should be rewar ded and promoted on t he basis of both per- formance a nd ethical conduct. • Violators of ethics standards should be disciplined. The USD Breakfast seminars will resume next fall.

Yet , Evans conce f that humans don't always take on this responsibility. "We are the only creature on the pla net that kills or harms one another for reasons other than food," sa id Evans. "Why do we do that? And why do good, honest people do unethical t hings? "Some say that it is t he competi- tion for survival; it's because we struggle with scarcity on the planet." To control p e ople, " Most societies make laws. The laws are an attempt to control behavior but not on a high order." However, ad- ded Ev ns, if you follow the law, that doesn't necessarily mean that you are acting ethically. "The law is not enough." Furthermore, in some situations, activities usual l y d ee m e d unethical may be acceptable. "ln certain circumstances lying and cheating may be all right - in survival situations, perhaps, kill- ing in defense of yourself or in a just war. There are situations where basic, good, decent, honest people would condone thi ngs like lying, cheating, stealing and even killing. But on the whole we say no to that." As for ethics in business and management, Evans posed some questions: Have business and management ethics deteriorated \ler time or is t his all Just media hype? Is society changing in tenns of its expectations and values? "There's no question that the media are getting involved both on the private side and the govern- ment side," said Evans, "but that doesn't necessarily indicate that things have gotten worse because of the way managers behave. My own personal opinion, from my own research that I have done on the subject, leads me to think that things have not gotten worse, s
