Read the fictionalized caselet given below and answer the question that follows: Sankaran is a student in an online Undergraduate Degree program. He has been posting negative, unsubstantiated comments about the program and its courses on a social media platform. Sankaran was found mocking the curriculum, pedagogy, and content of certain courses. Furthermore, he inadvertently incited other learners to support his perspective on the platform. A concerned fellow student, who wishes to remain anonymous, has brought this matter to the attention of the Student Affairs Coordinator (SAC). They now have enough proof to identify and track the person responsible for the posts on social platforms. The SAC has verified that the posts were indeed made by Sankaran and that it is harming the reputation of the program. Additionally, the SAC discovered that Sankaran has not utilized any of the grievance redressal mechanisms or feedback channels available to him for voicing his concerns or suggestions for improvement. Instead, he has chosen to defame and slander the program. It seems he is unaware of the program's non-academic misconduct policies, modelled after corporate social media guidelines, which appear to be ineffective or not well-enforced in addressing such issues.
As the program gears up for upcoming placements, timing is crucial. Many learners, including Sankaran, have applied for opportunities. It is a well-known fact that hiring managers increasingly scrutinize the online behaviour of applicants. Such posts have caused discomfort to his peers, who are potential employees for the numerous visiting companies.
Question: Discuss the ethical implications of such behaviour on the social platform. What action should SAC take to address this issue? (Answer in 100 words, 4 marks)
