In r/ProductManagement, PMs describe ethics as a recurring risk area, especially when handling sensitive student data and deciding how to allocate scarce support resources. The community frames these as moral choices that can outweigh purely legal or growth considerations.
I work in edtech and we deal with very sensitive student data.
Another issue that comes up is around the ethics of division of scarce resources: on one hand, all students need support.
if you have a student with a 2.5 GPA and a student with a 1.0 GPA, the 2.5 has a better shot at college, so do you highlight that or bury it in a field of all students?
