Chapter 2 - Vignette: IT Technicians Fired After Reporting Child Porn

1. What message is sent to IT workers by the actions of New York Law School and Collegis—
even if unrelated job-performance issues justified their actions in firing Gross and Perry?


                                              -----------------------------------------

2. Since this incident, a number of states have enacted laws that require workers to report
immediately any child pornography found while servicing equipment. Most of the laws state
that a worker who reports such a discovery is immune from any criminal, civil, or administrative
liability. Failure to report the discovery can result in a fine, imprisonment, or both. Do you
think such laws will encourage reporting? Why or why not?
