Ok so I have to answer this question for my ethics cl but I need some help with it, University professors?

are usually fairly bright, and they typically hold reason in high regard. but sad to say, university professors are not widely acclaimed as moral models. In fact, academic departments are notorious for being dens of intrigue and betrayal, and squabbling among faculty is comon. If that essment of the moral status of university faculty is accurate does that count against the claim that rationality is the core of ethics?
