discussion final week

 Read Case 2.1: Hacking into Harvard, located on page 71 in your  textbook. As applicants began to defend themselves against the  penalties handed out by the business schools, they appealed to both  consequentialist and nonconsequentialist criteria to support their  actions. Some responded by pointing out that their intentions were never  malicious, while others argued they did not think checking their  application statuses would cause any real harm. Review the case study,  and analyze the actions of the students from a Kantian perspective.  Consider whether the actions taken by the hackers were permissible  according the standard of universal acceptability.
