Why this dilemma matters
There is no clean answer here — the dilemma forces a trade between two legitimate moral claims. Choosing “Keep the grade as earned — academic integrity matters more than personal safety” prioritises a more principled outcome; choosing “Adjust the grade slightly — surviving in the system lets you help more students long-term” gives more weight to a more pragmatic outcome.
Worth asking yourself
- Is the principle worth the concrete cost?
- What cost are you more willing to accept?
