Stanford president resigns over manipulated research, will retract at least three papers
More proof that the most corrupt and immoral people rise to the highest ranks in academia
Let me preface this by saying I’ve worked in both academia and private enterprise.
I would say it’s more proof that the idea of academia as an “ivory tower” that holds itself to a higher standard than business and government is utterly delusional. Academia is subject to the same desire for power, money, and prestige because it’s run by people, and people with too much ambition and not enough integrity tend to rise to the top because they simply do not care about ethics. It’s the same everywhere; higher education is no different than the business world.
Except that the saying, “those who can’t do, teach; those who can’t teach become college professors” is absolutely true without exception and I will fight anyone who disagrees.
College professors teach classes. Do you mean university administrators?
I had some really good college professors. And a couple of shitty ones.
Albert Einstein was a college professor for a large chunk of his life (Bern, ETH Zurich, etc) I think he should get a pass.
Anytime the government freely gives money to industries, they get incredibly bloated and extorted by these types.
It's sad, because often the money is supposed to go to a good cause, but over time it always seems to end up like this.
