Notre Dame Is Rocked by Charges of Academic Cheating – Only the Tip of The Iceberg, and, Not Just Notre Dame

Notre Dame Is Rocked by Charges of Academic Cheating – NYTimes.com.

I put my view in a comment:

 

Critics are only partly right when they

“…contend that [college sports officials] are unable to run sports as a big business while maintaining academic integrity…” (from the article, 5th paragraph down)

The reality is that colleges, period, can’t be run “…as a big business while maintaining academic integrity…”

Sports is only the tip of the iceberg. There are law schools scams; there are research frauds; there is grade inflation and content deflation (to satisfy customer “wants”, while deceiving them that their educational “needs” are being met.)

We don’t just have an integrity problem, per se; we have an education problem. And it is overwhelming our society as a whole.

These problems start from the top, not the bottom.
