Academic dishonesty has been called "a plague and a crisis" and Business School students are apparently worse than all other college and university students in terms of their cheating behavior. Which schools are doing well at changing student behaviors -- or is the issue not considered important? Only one-third of AACSB-accredited business schools even teach a stand-alone Business Ethics course but more than 40% of the top 100 US Business School deans acknowledge that their faculty are unprepared and unqualified to teach ethics "across the curriculum." What's working? Which schools are making a difference . . . and how are they positively affecting student attitudes?

Hi dear Colleague,
First of all, Obviously, I want toI thank you for raising the ethical issue in the university sphere, that has remained unresolved until now in our universities.
The question of academia's ethics have been very little discussed. According to me, what you qualify as "academic dishonesty" or "pestilence and crisis" does not reflect the reality of the university's disaster. I think there is a deep problem in both academicians values system and ethic system in the university sphere. This bitter reality leads to the development of what I just called a "Scientific Mafia" within universities. Lobbying, calculation, loss of principles and academic values to the detriment of personal interest concern. The lobby of chief editors of the scientific journals is one of the facets of the "Scientific Mafia". Also, groups of academic interest seeking international funded projects are also another facet of this scientific Mafia.
Therefore, how do you expect students to behave ethically, if their teachers have unethical behavior?
Sir, being honest I think all school are doing the same only percentage of copy is different
