I wonder if renowned professors and academics are on average more ethical or the same as then.

You hear things like OP and think "Yeah there is a good reason why we stopped treating professors as authorities to consult on anything". Just how many people must have known and just silently accepted this atrocity.

Academia ultimately serve the ruling class, so it usually defaults to the ruling class ideas and thus ethics.
