Summary
Due to the negligence of Federal Express and the University of California Berkley, thirty
students were denied the opportunity to participate in the Fulbright research award (Murphy,
2004). Eligibility conditions for the Fulbright research award necessitate that applications be
mailed before the deadline of October 20th. Federal Express, however, failed not to collect grant
applications from the institution before the October 20th deadline owing to technical software
concerns. Federal Express "sent letters to the university to recognize the incident and backdated
the shipment's air bill to match the scheduled Oct. 20 pickup date." Murphy (2004). Federal
Express has acknowledged full responsibility for its involvement in this incident.
The university is at blame because the university mail attendant should have made a swift
trip to the post office once it became clear that Federal Express would not arrive on time, putting
the mail's arrival at its intended destination in jeopardy. The scenario was exacerbated further
when an administrative assistant wrote the Department of Education to explain the circumstances
in the hopes of receiving leniency.
Several months later, the University got an official letter from the Department of
Education informing them that their late submissions were no longer eligible for the Fulbright
grant procedure. Lawyers for the Department of Education stated that if the institution had not
commenced contact about the specifics of this case, they would not have been aware of the
scenario or the manipulation of the backdated airbill and hence would not have rejected the
applications (Murphy, 2004).
