This article made me think of the moral corruption of widespread and frequent cheating. What does it do to the moral compass of a brain not yet fully formed? Will this generation go on breaking rules and laws when they are adults? The SEC and the Justice Department may get very busy.

The professor has a fully formed brain. Yet, there they are not doing a damn thing and allowing this to happen. Because...cushy job. How do people sleep at night?

The people cheating to get their diploma will probably be working at the SEC and the Justice Department. Some of them are probably already there.

They won't go into public service unless they have idealistic tendencies. Those jobs, mostly requiring law degrees, pay poorly compared to private jobs.

But they provide connections , a steady check and prestige to their fellows.

I admire those who go into public service a great deal. I hope idealism drives as many of them to that route for at least part of their career.

there is nothing wrong with service, its an honorable job. But there are people who join for more than idealism.

Many of these kids are learning the progressive ideals at colleges. And the kids are ripe for it, too. An 18-year-old no longer has the maturity level of an 18-year-old but a 16-year-old. Kids are mentally growing slower nowadays, likely a product of the indoor bubbles they are raised in.
