Official Review Authority Used to Displace Peer Professional State

Class 12cad6cf
http://proethica.org/ontology/intermediate#OfficialReviewAuthorityUsedtoDisplacePeerProfessionalState
Definition

State in which a licensed professional engineer, acting in an official public capacity (such as town engineer), conducts a performance or quality review of a peer professional's work on a public project, and the findings of that review — whether accurate or not — lead to the peer's termination and the reviewing engineer's private firm subsequently filling the vacated role, creating a structural appearance of impropriety in which official review authority has been used, intentionally or not, to displace a competitor and capture public work for private benefit.
