Decision making — college coordination and student migration after being ousted Statement: Lack of coordination between the University, its colleges, and authorities has resulted in students ousted from one college seeking migration to another. Which courses of action are appropriate? I. If a student is ousted from a college, this information should be sent to all other colleges of the University. II. The University should handle admissions to all affiliated colleges directly. III. Create a separate section for strict action against students indulging in anti-social activities.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: Only I follows

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
The problem cites coordination gaps that allow ousted students to migrate to another college within the same university. We must pick actions that directly solve that loophole, without imposing unnecessary structural overhauls unrelated to the stated cause.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Students expelled/ousted from one college are managing to migrate to another in the same university.
  • The core issue is poor information flow and coordination among colleges and authorities.


Concept / Approach:
Choose the action that closes the information gap across campuses so that disciplinary decisions are visible university-wide. Be cautious about sweeping centralization or punitive units that may not address coordination itself.



Step-by-Step Solution:

I. Circulate ouster information to all colleges: This directly prevents re-admission elsewhere without scrutiny. It follows.II. University to control all admissions centrally: This may be overkill. Centralization alone does not guarantee better disciplinary information sharing, and it upends existing decentralized processes; not necessary to solve the specific problem.III. Create a section for strict action against anti-social activities: While discipline matters, the stated issue is coordination, not the absence of punitive capacity. This does not directly address the migration loophole.


Verification / Alternative check:
If every college is promptly notified of ousters, attempts to migrate can be screened during admission. This is a minimal, targeted fix consistent with the problem statement.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:

  • II: Structural centralization is not required by the stated cause.
  • III: Punitive focus without coordination still allows information gaps.
  • Pairs including II or III dilute the targeted remedy.


Common Pitfalls:
Confusing cause (coordination failure) with effect (misconduct). The remedy must match the cause first.
