starzkiIf you are reading this, please respond with what you think I should do.
One of my students just gave me Rolling Stone tickets. They are for the Rolling Stones concert tonight. They are VIP seating (30th row). A check at Ticketmaster shows these seats going for hundreds of dollars.
This student is a police officer who probably had a way to get tickets free and he's just spreading them around. I think.
However, this student is also doing poorly in the class (failed the first test) and may be trying to bribe me.
Help! What should I do?
EDIT: I called the state ethics office and my provost's office and they said that while there were no rules against it, I shouldn't accept the tickets. So I emailed the student and told him that I couldn't accept them. He said fine, but that I should give them out to whomever so that they don't go to waste. So I gave them to one of my old professors who loves the Stones. What a shame I couldn't sell them on Craigslist. I'd have made rent for the next two months.
