I have a different ethical question that someone might be able to answer.
It's about matching grants and "in-kind" services.  In my office, we're trying
to raise some money to get funds from a grant released to us.  An intern has
been asked to keep track of the time he works on the project so that it can be
considered an in-kind contribution, but he objects because the money we receive
would be used to hire someone else.  He doesn't like the idea of working for
free so that someone else can be paid (and there are other projects he can
work on).  I see his point and sympathize with him--the concept makes me
nervous--but others seem to think he's out in left field and resent his attitude.  Is
he right, or is he being unrealistic?  Comments would be welcome.
