Convenient Ethics & Market Segmentation
From The Economist
“There is a real hostility in this country to the use of agents,” says Mitch Leventhal, vice-provost for international affairs at the University of Cincinnati. “Some universities think it is illegal—it’s not, what’s illegal is recruiting American students via agents. Some think it’s unethical—but it’s only unethical when done unethically.
Funny that American university officials would worry about the ethics of using agents. Shouldn't the concern be with the ethics of supporting laws that ban their use, thereby depriving students of information?
