Corporate Bankruptcy: The CEO Bonus

Context

The CEO demands a large, unscheduled bonus, hinting that approval will secure investor confidence and stability, while denial may lead to internal turmoil.

Dilemma

Do you:
A) Approve the bonus, ensuring the CEO’s favor but engaging in corruption, or
B) Deny the bonus, upholding ethics?

Summary

Researchers have cast doubt on Purdue University’s claims that its early-warning system, Signals, improves student retention. Analyses suggest the system’s perceived impact is a result of students persisting in their studies rather than Signals causing higher retention. Purdue defended its findings but acknowledged more research is needed. While Signals-inspired systems remain valuable for academic support, experts stress the need for rigorous validation of ed-tech claims.
