I think you misunderstand - the ethics document was signed *when he
applied as a student". If you think that's "unprofessional", you
might want to consider that doctors, lawyers, and other professions
have ethics standards as well. As does anybody who has a CISSP:
https://www.isc2.org/ethics/default.aspx
I'd say anybody who persisted in doing something after they promised
not to would be running afoul of the "necessary public trust and confidence"
clause of the CISSP code of ethics?
