Phil, I understand the difficult situation you are in. While wanting to help Ross, deceiving his parents would go against our ethical codes. Let us explore other options that are honest and help Ross pursue his goals and happiness through approved means. There may be a solution that considers everyone's well-being.

1. The Case of the Pressuring
Parent
Kevin DeRuosi, Kaitlin Hurley, Izabela
Kaczynska, Emily Mercer

2. The Cast
Phil: The Academic
Advisor
Ross: The Student

3. The Setting
Phil’s office at Grantland University: A Large, Public
Research University in the Southeast

4. SCENE 1:
Ross is not doing well in his calculus class, and he would
like to change his major to psychology instead of
engineering since he is doing well and really likes his
Psych class, but he knows that his parents will not help
him pay for college if he does not stick with engineering.
Ross asks Phil to lie to his parents and tell them that his
poor marks in calculus are not a big deal and that he is still
on track, just until he figures out what to do about
changing his major.

6. Scene 2:
Ross leaves Phil’s office, and Phil begins to mull over
Ross’ request of deceit.
Phil thinks about the potential repercussions that could
come of him lying to parents, but then he also thinks of
Ross’ desire to stay at Grantland, and his ultimate
happiness that depends on his changing his major…
Phil falls asleep as he is thinking and awakes to find some
uninvited guests!
