What are, or what should be the academic ethics in relatively competitive environment with small budgets?
Exactly Sanjeet; that is also my opinion; however, there are people with volatile ethics that are conditions dependent. Yes, the ethics of a person should be an inherent characteristics which define the person.
Is it really true that "ethics" always creates "harmony" or even that its aim should be to try to be harmonious? While this may be a noble goal, it is not always the goal of the ethicist or the discipline of ethics as the ethicist or the discipline attempts to define goals.

Thanks Dennis for your feedback. IMHO, good ethics and harmony with the correctness are highly correlated. On the other hand, good ethics may cause conflicts with a bad environment and vice versa.
Well, my expression 'volatile ethics' refers to a situation where a person change the well known good ethics according to specific situations by convencing himself/herself that this change is necessary for achieving his/her good objective!!! Pardon me, my specialization is engineering. Therefore, this definition may be blow the standard level of the related discipline, or there might be a specific jargon for the meaning.
