He’s just as morally corrupt as the students. He’s not willing to stand by his morals when it costs him financially. Instead, he caved to the corrupt system. So, how is he any better?
exactly!!
Now that he has publicly stated that he cannot be bothered to uphold (what should be) the standards of his profession and the elementary ethics our society should require, he is part of the problem.
Not to forget that he has publicly asserted that the “cost” to him in whatever salary increase he thinks he lost represents his “price” for ignoring cheating.... i.e., for that amount of money (or possibly less) he would rather ignore the cheating.
RE: So, how is he any better?
He’s not. He prefers the security of his tenure and his comfortable salary than to rock the boat (much like a lot of our politicians everywhere).
This professor then shows his foolishness by posting his thoughts in a BLOG instead of confronting the students head-on or informing the administration.
If someone in the administration of NYU ever reads that blog or even this thread ( it is now PUBLIC on the internet ), He/She OUGHT to do something about this mass cheating.
If this culture of cheating continues without anything being done about it, it will be the end of NYU as we know it ( or what’s left of it ).
Yeah, it’s the victims fault...
