It goes even deeper than all that. Schools basically give away undergraduate degrees now, as those who should fail will magically receive passing grades. They cannot afford to fail too many students (relative to other institutions), as that ultimately would damage either their finances or reputation. Absolutely everyone involved in teaching (professors, instructors, grad students) are complicit in this scam. This endemic condition demonstrates the complete lack of integrity present in these institutions. If they are willing to lie and cheat the system that grants the very entry level credentials required to get into the upper echelons of academia, it becomes a very safe bet that they are lying and cheating in countless other ways from the comfort of their ivory towers.
