To me the childish party seems to be Scott Siskind. If ethical concerns were real, he could just not write about his patients. If he didn't want to be news worthy, he didn't have to try and become a successful blogger. He decided

I think the current mindset of american universities is commodification of the concept of higher education. Teaching, scholastic tradition and enlightment values are sidelined by values like customer satisfaction, marketing, and money maki
