Ethical idealism versus greed.

Serena, your "laundry list" of what constitutes being a good professor is "idealistic."  Yes, we need ideals, or mission statements as you observe, to provide an ethical compass for our behavior.  However, what if the mission of the university is to make a profit?  How does making a profit align, agree, conflict with providing ethical learning?  You get the idea.  How many of the ethical standards in your list go by the wayside if a for-profit university will sabotage standards, ethics for the sake of greed?  Your humble servant has worked for  nonprofit and for-profit universities, onsite and online.  The ethical atmosphere is markedly different between the two distinct settings.  In the for-profit world, ethical idealism is in the final analysis not the mission, sadly.  Dr. Rux
