An example of the importance of good UI
There are already famous examples of the importance of good interfaces but developers and project leads still tend to ignore the consequences of poor UI. Perhaps, "I'm not working on a nuclear reactor," is a valid excuse, so here is an example that's easier to relate to.
"An employee apparently selected the wrong field," says to me problem #1 is a confusing UI. That the interface even affords the possibility of sending an automated call to every student is second problem, and obviously in combination these issues had significant consequences. I'd love to see the UI for this program, my guess is it's not too pretty.
