Decision & Reasoning
Selected: request_extension
Requesting an extension allows for a more thorough and fair investigation, ensuring that the decision is based on complete information. This choice balances the urgency of the university's deadline with the need to validate the claims of both Dr. Sarah Chen and Marcus Rodriguez. A rushed decision could harm either party unjustly, and a deeper analysis might reveal additional context about the shared phrasing. While this option risks delaying the hiring process, it upholds academic integrity and minimizes potential reputational damage to all involved.
