Question: A few months later, Aparna, during an interview with the local media, inadvertently expresses her fear that she might be let go by A2Z because she has not met its teaching and research requirements.
Consequently, the academic council urges the dean to review the faculty confirmation policy.
The Dean, however, believes that any change in the policy will be a setback to the institute's aspirations of becoming a global leader in research.
Which of the following actions by the Dean will be the MOST appropriate, given the circumstances?
Confirming Aparna will send a contradictory message to the new recruits about the teaching and research policy of the institute. Hence, options B and E are eliminated.
Firing Aparna or talking about her poor performance will put the institute in a negative shadow, and thus, options A and D will be eliminated.
Option C shows the institute's readiness to hire Aparna as well as its determination to uphold the teaching and research policy.
Hence, the answer is option C.
