Reminds me of my college days in the dark ages. We were on an "honor system." Profs would pass out exams and leave. We had to write at the bottom, "I have neither given nor received aid on this exam nor have I seen anyone do so." Sometimes we could get away with "Pledge in full."
I never saw cheating--but I never looked for it, either.
Back then we were graded; an A was an A and there were no P's.

Three quarters of all college seniors report that their professors teach them that what is right and wrong depends "on differences in individual values and cultural diversity," I have to agree that right and wrong does depend on differences in individual values and cultural diversity.
Right and wrong is not black and white across the board. There are things that should be right and wrong universally. Such as murder, rape and slavery to name just a few.
But what is wrong for one culture is not for another.

Three quarters of all college seniors report that their professors teach them that what is right and wrong depends "on differences in individual values and cultural diversity,"… How else would they be able to explain that their government provides abortion services and normally incarcerates pot smokers longer than murders and pedophiles. Without relativity, one would have to believe these actions are equal to insanity.

Every time I read a piece like this I wonder why it is that there is not a large push by conservative organizations and think tanks to establish a presence on campuses to confront and discredit those who wish to undermine Western values and culture.
Instead of just documenting the lies and the perversion of American history, culture and social mores that these jerks promulgate, people like Bill Bennett or Rush Limbaugh could lead the charge. This indoctrination needs to be met with more than shaking of the head and a few choice words. How many times have we heard of some unfortunate student who has tried to stand up for what is right against the America haters only to be pilloried into silence?
And it must also be remembered that these lefties have a wider audience than just the students in their classes or the student body of their respective institutions; their garbage is also disseminated to the society at large through their various media mouthpieces -- NY Times, Washington Post, CNN, etc. And they are winning. Witness the acceptance, in a few short years by American society at large of many types of behaviors that would have been criticized or scorned by most Americans just 25 or 30 years ago. For example, absent the 9/11 attacks, I wonder if the recent 9th Circuit ruling regarding the Pledge would have been met with so much public indignation.

Good and Evil are relative?
False - Absolutely!

College Seniors Taught Right and Wrong Is Relative By people who have never been in the real world.
To: kattracks
By the time someone is a senior in college, you'd think that they would have figured out some moral logic all on their own. Anyone who hasn't probably needs someone to keep telling them what's right and what's wrong for the rest of their life.
The RULES of behavior differ from one religion to the next. But some religions have immoral rules relative to basic standards of humanity. The fundamentalists of all religions are the least moral. They tend to incarcerate, rape, murder and stone people for percieved infractions of ritual behavior.

But it's not relativist, it's substitutionist. Leftists aren't going to fool me into thinking that they are relativist, they have their own hard system of morality just like anyone else. Thing is they don't have the balls to come right out with it, they first dissolve the current moral structure with relativism, and then come back in the second wave (once society has descended into chaos) and implement it with jackboot fervor and ferocity. Ask any hard line leftist if polluting is ok, and I bet most if not all would give an emphatic no.

The agenda of the warring Left's Army continues to procede unimpeded...
As students are indoctrinated with a viewpoint that all issues are neither right nor wrong, the ulterior motive of the Marxist professors will have succeeded in the ultimate treason -- patriotism in the next generation will be systematically eradicated.
American campuses are becoming a cultural Custer's Last Stand, Waterloo, and Killing Fields all rolled up into one.

there are clear and uniform standards of right and wrong...welfare is bad the farm bill is good.

By the time that the kids get to be college seniors, they already have that viewpoint. Who is kidding whom? I would lower that bar a few years to the high school level.

So, let me guess, Morals are relevant depending on your race, or ethnic background.
ie. what seems like rape to a white heterosexual male may not be the same for a white homosexual male?
