Perry Winkle, that was my first thought. The student loan fiasco has been a nightmare. Though most FA administrators are ethical (to the point of it being painful) it takes a few situations like that to dirty the whole system in the eyes of the world. A dirty business in the eyes of the world is not successful, whether it's fair or not.
They've even gone so far as to tell us that we must avoid the "perception" of impropriety and that we will be viewed as guilty until proven innocent. This is a slap in the face for so many hard-working and honest people, but that's the result of less than ethical business deals.
Of course, huge companies are built on less than ethical. Ethics sometimes come with a personal price in terms of monetary or related gains, but having a clear conscience is a much better way to go through life.
Just my two cents from another side of the issue. Of course, my situation involves federal funding, and we are obligated to uphold the integrity of the programs. But, you wouldn't have asked if it didn't give you some sort of creepy-crawly feeling.
