College seniors and ethics

A Zogby poll confirms the obvious: students are taught to believe “diversity” outranks ordinary honesty, which is mostly relative to personal and cultural standards anyway. They learn that business is a profession in which an “anything goes” attitude is uniquely likely to lead to success. And 97% of college seniors agree that their studies are preparing them to behave ethically in their future professional life. How could their studies fail to prepare them, when as long as diversity is advanced the only moral requirement is to express whatever you feel about things?
