lundi, octobre 01, 2007 Good Riddance: A Reminder for University Ethics  I guess that sums up my postgrad experience in a nutshell. There's really not much else to say, what with the professor resigning in before the scandal could even erupt. There are some things which professors should not be allowed to do, and one of them is to unfairly exploit the power-imbalance between teacher-student to their advantage. Universities should also clearly state the OOB markers - this is not something which is an ethically ambivalent issue; it's as distinct as night and day. Although the university has no right to interfere in what occurs behind closed doors, there should be a clear articulated policy with regard to improper student-teacher relationships. It is precisely because there was no earlier sanction on this guy, did he grow bolder and bolder, even as he put on his moralist, hyper-ethical front. If there's a clear sense that instructors are taking advantage of the lack of articulated policy, shouldn't someone be looking into putting some semblance of one down on paper?
