From what I've read, I think they are ethically tone-deaf, just like he is. Personally, I think many institutions of higher education today are out of touch with the moral reality of the society at large--Stanford probably no more than any other. SBF's mother is known for something called "Beyond Blame." www.bostonreview.net/forum/barbara-fried-beyond-blame-moral-responsibility-philosophy-law/ This is part of a school of thought in the law that does not believe in personal culpability for crime. It's pretty radical, even more than restorative justice, which is popular in law schools these days, and itself a bit novel. SBF's extreme devotion to utilitarianism is not inconsistent with that notion. It's also kind of sad and naive. Utilitarianism is a morally neutral philosophy most people learn about in college and then discard as they mature, thinking -- interesting idea but more of a thought experiment than a way to actually live one's life. SBF apparently never grew beyond that. Thanks for the excellent question!
