    Case 1. State University Board of Regents: What Am I Living For?

     
     
       Mr. Francis Francisco is a successful businessman who operates a chain of restaurant in Central
    Luzon. He resides in the capital city of his province and is the current president of a local chapter
    of a civic organization. He has been recently appointed member of the board of regents of a state
    university representing the community as prominent citizen. The university has campuses in
    various towns of the province where he lives.
       In the meetings held monthly by the board of regents , Mr. Francisco acted as the champion of
    the students cause. When the university president, Dr. Joel Sam proposed an increase in tuition,
    Mr. Francisco opposed it, even tried to personally convince the other members of the board to do
    the same. The proposal was rejected by a majority vote.
       Not accustomed to accepting defeat, Dr. Joel Sam devised a way to make Mr. Francisco submit
    to his wishes. He befriended the wife of Mr. Francisco and insinuated to her that she can do
    business with the university through catering services. Mrs. Francisco agreed and soon she
    became the sole food caterer to most of the meetings and parties held at the university. The
    arrangement proved to be a lucrative source of income for Mrs. Francisco.
       Every time that she had a the opportunity, she told her husband the importance of maintaining
    good relationship with Dr. Joel Sam.
       Soon, Mr. Francisco stand as opposition in the board softened. He became more
    accommodating to the proposals presented by Dr. Joel Sam.
     
    Question:
       Is there anything wrong with the actions of the three personalities in this case? Elaborate your
    answer. 
     
    Generally, my answer is YES, there is. Mr. Francisco, although at first, shows a positive character,
    has changed throughout the story. Mrs. Francisco, the wife of Mr. Francisco, seems to have a
    different perspective and values from her husband in a way that she appears to selfishly care more
    about the personal aspects of their lives, unlike her husband who cares for the welfare of others
    too. Dr. Sam, on the other hand, maintained his smart and persistent personality until the end
    which, somewhat, hurts the people around him, especially on his colleagues. Nevertheless, Mr.
    Francisco should continue being the champion of the student's cause and never give in to the
    situation. He should talk to his wife and inform her about Dr. Sam's plans, that if she continues, it
    might compromise his adherence to his opposition to the university president. If Mrs. Francisco
    would not continue to do business with Dr. Sam, he would eventually cancel the deal and would
    never have a way to make Mr. Francisco submit to his wishes. It may be a substantial monetary
    loss to the husband and wife as the business may add greatly to their income, but, to me, I would
    rather lose a temporary thing over my principles which have helped me earn not only respect and
    inspiration from other people but also the privilege help, which is the greatest of them all.
