I work at university now and agree. I worked as an IT person and a compliance person at a bak as well. Was never asked to do anything illegal or unethical. I have known people that do bookkeeping who see transactions that give them pause.

I mentored two international business majors (from bosnia). They graduated at the top of the class for all business majors. They learned at the school I work at much more than that. But I have heard about programs like you describe.
