2. In the light of Proctorio's torch-the-earth legal tactics as an example, university boards should examine whether their procurement policies require contracted providers follow ethical standards in conducting business that align with the high standards universities are expected to meet.

A lot of back slappery and self congratulatory words among admins while at the same time dissing those who don't see the light is such an empty performance.
