Case 11-4: ADDITIONAL CASE ASSIGNMENT – HAAS SCHOOL OF BUSINESS 1). PREPARE A 1-PAGE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY THAT ADDRESSES THE MAJOR ISSSUES IN THIS CASE USING THESE QUESTIONS AS A GUIDE. 2). NO ASSIGNMENT LONGER THAN 1-PAGE IN LENGTH WILL BE ACCEPTED. QUESTIONS: (What happened before the Wall Street Journal article appeared and who was involved? (How do you think the decision was made to pay faculty in this way? Do you think more people were involved than just Dean Hasler?

What options are available to you? (Which options are the most feasible? Which options are not feasible? (Does it matter what was the source of the funds that were used to make these payments? Assuming it wasn’t from a grant or restricted financing source, does it matter whether these funds were to be used for other programs?
