Abstract: This case provides an opportunity for classroom discussion of ethical issues addressed by computing technologists and the Association of Computing Machinery (ACM) Code of Ethics as the authors describe a recent lawsuit brought against Sutter Health. Security issues, data breaches and compliance with industry privacy rules are common concerns for all industry professionals, including computing technologists. However, employer work requests, of questionable moral position, place employees in ethical dilemmas that add another layer to job-related stress. The case can be used in a graduate level management information systems course or as part of a capstone class experience. Suggested assignments include discussion questions regarding the ACM Code of Ethics and the right to privacy and situational ethics scenarios for programmers.
