Corruption in Higher Education by Paul Temple and Georgy Petrov

Political corruption is a major problem in the US today. It involves almost all levels of government and affects people from all walks of life. Public office is a noble post and citizens put their trust in government officials to carry out their constitutional duties for the benefit of the citizenry. The problem comes in where both elected and unelected officials perform their duties with the goal of personal gain in full view of the law. The ethical and moral wrongs of corruption are unjustifiable in any context.

In his work entitled “The Shock of Education: How College Corrupts”, journalist and author Alfred Lubrano poses the question of how receiving education can lead to a harsh reality. Lubrano explains that as a child works toward a higher education, there are certain aspects of life they are forced to leave behind as they enter into a new existence. According to Lubrano’s statement, “At night, at home, the differences in the Columbia experiences my father and I were having was becoming more evident” (532). Additionally, Lubrano states, “We talked about general stuff, and I learned to self-censor. I’d seen how ideas could be upsetting, especially when wielded by a smarmy freshman who barely knew what he was talking about” (533). In answering this question, Lubrano must explore the types of conversations that occurred with other family members, the disconnection from his peers, and how segregating himself from his family

Corruption still exists in the world today. In 2014, it was exposed that the University of North Carolina had offered a “shadow curriculum” to keep students (many of them athletes) from failing. These fake

Someone who is abusing the power that is given to him or her defines corruption, however, the word in its self is more than a simple idea; it is an intricate network. Since people’s views about ethical and moral behavior affect the way corruption is examined, the word has a slightly different meaning to each person. Additionally, misconduct across various societies is viewed differently due to social and cultural borders. The criminal justice system has had many instances where corruption had affected the outcome of a case and has inserted itself into the legal process.

In this study I intend to identify common administrative flaws within high schools, and identify a strategy of grade altering corruption prevention.

First, it is important to define what corruption is. The term, “corruption” covers a broad range of human actions,

It is the responsibility of an organization to maintain consistency in controlling foundational corruption so that includes colleges and universities. When something awful takes place, prosecutors usually point out how the issue could have been prevented had proper compliance measures been in place to begin with. In addition to criminal arraignments paying huge fines from the courts and sometimes imprisonment, prosecutors can expect organizations to enlist an outside third party to properly monitor compliance and to guarantee the improvement of these controls. It will be nothing unexpected if the government follows suit.

Children are taught throughout school that corruption is accepted and just how one gets things done in life. Sergey Shirin used methodology taken from the European Association for Education Law and Policy to study the higher education system of Russia. He found that corruption is rampant throughout the education system, and especially in universities (Shirin 2). He also found that laws that are put in place to try and counteract the corruption are not effective and often contradict eachother. This allows the corruption to fester and

It would be convenient to start this research paper by stating that corruption is a challenge mainly for businesses in developing countries and that it is unrelated to the current affliction of the economy in the United States. It would also be convenient to claim corruption has declined in America as a result of awareness raising campaigns and the numerous anti-corruption laws. But none of those aforementioned statements would be true. Corruption is not the exception, but rather the rule in today’s business practices. In 2004, Daniel Kaufmann, a senior fellow at Brookings Institution and former director at the World Bank, calculated an index of "legally corrupt" manifestations which is defined as the extent of undue influence

The second problem is the corruption in Vietnamese education which can be seen as a danger for social moral. In overview, the average annual salary of teacher in Vietnam is approximately 19.2 million dong which can be seen as rather low when comparing with 14 other countries in the Asia Region (from: Vietnam: education financing, World Bank). The low income likes a catalytic factor for the disease spreading corruption. According the study of Dennis C. McCornac, associate professor of economics at Anne Arundel Community College, corruption in Vietnamese

Corruption in India is widely spread. India is ranked 85 out of 179 countries in Transparency International’s Corruption Perceptions Index; its score has improved rapidly from 2.7 in 2002 to 3.4 in 2008. It is the one of the main problem facing by India in his way of development. Corruption is not a recent phenomena it existed in form or another form since immemorial. In various ancient civilizations it is clearly demonstrated that bribery was a serious problem among the Jews, Chinese, Japanese, Greeks, Romans as well as Azeets of the modern world.

Political corruption has existed throughout the ages. It believed to be most prominent in positions of power, because of the role money plays in getting people power. However, over the centuries, corruption has changed so much so as to not match a particular definition of corruption, perpetually growing deceptively harder to find (Ebbe).

Another important cause of unemployment in Bosnia and Herzegovina is corruption. At the end of each year, numerous organizations do researches related to corruption in Bosnia and Herzegovina. One of these organizations is Transparency International organization. According to Transparency International, Bosnia and Herzegovina is represented as the one of the most corrupted and the most undeveloped countries in Europe. The corruption rate in this country is calculated as 14.9% and it places Bosnia and Herzegovina as the 5th country on the list of corrupted countries. During last four years, this country records constant decrease in global corruption rate because the other countries involved in this survey showed high increase in corruption rate. Moreover, Divjak (2012) states that this country did not make any improvement or decline in corruption rate, so it represents stagnation in economy. Although the decrease is finally stopped, the result is disappointing because there is no desire of the government to overcome the corruption. According to Tomas (2004, p.141.)

Corruption is a complex political, social, and economic anomaly that negatively affects developing and developed countries. It weakens democratic institutions, holds economic development, widening the rich-poor gap and certainly leads to governmental instability. The World Bank definition of corruption states that “…the abuse of public office for private gain”.

This does not set a good example for the employees and can be harmful to the future of the company. Ensuring that bribery stops can solve many of the problems discussed above. Some feasible solutions are being recommended to help the company in both short term and long term. First of all, all employees including managers should be given training and education about bribery, corruption and what’s deemed illegal according to the law. Explicit measures should be suggested on how they can avoid supporting corruption and also where they can report to in case a situation where dishonesty is involved arises.
