Read the case study: Sibley Memorial Hospital by Kurt Darr - The george washington University, Washington, D.C.
The Sibley Hospital case involves several board members taking what any reasonable person might consider to be "questionable" actions. However, "questionable," "unethical" and "illegal" are not the same.
Some of their actions may raise even more serious issues, especially as to a board's responsibilities, specifically the responsibilities for loyalty, care and obedience.
Discuss:
Question 1. Where did the board as a whole fail to carry out those responsibilities?
Question 2. Where did individual board members fail to carry out those responsibilities?
Question 3. Did any actions cross the boarder from the questionable and unethical to the illegal?
