This case is part of the Giving Voice to Values (GVV) curriculum. To see other material in the GVV curriculum, please visit http://store.darden.virginia.edu/giving-voice-to-values. A civil service officer responsible for enforcing property rights confronts a challenge when a Hindu temple committee begins to build a temple expansion on a neighboring business person’s property. It is election season and the protagonist’s supervisor, up for re-election, does not want to upset the largely Hindu voting population. The property owner happens to be Muslim. Works well in courses on diversity, management, global business, and/or ethics.
