Look Ironwood isn't a bad person. I just see him as stubborn and immature. He makes decisions without running anything pass other's who are on his team. He's used to being in control so he doesn't feel the need to explain himself. No one signed off on being okay with Penny being tested against their students. At least it was never shown on screen or even hinted at. He decided that and Cinder saw what he was doing and outed him to the whole world to cause a panic. And it worked. But if he had told the staff of Beacon or at least Oz, he could have set up ways to test Penny and have social interaction without letting Cinder have more ammo to make people point fingers.
