A "conflict of interest" arises when someone is incentivized to act in a way that conflicts with their professional responsibility. E.g. if a surgeon gets paid for a surgery even if the patient doesn't need it, that's a conflict of interest.
There is no professional responsibility for someone auditing a class.
>Even just having a bunch of guys in a class they have no intention of studying for or completing just to get lucky is clearly off.
If it results in an increase in students mastering the material, I'm not sure I see the problem.
>Yes people meet each other in jobs and school etc. but usually by chance not engineered to this degree.
The underlying message seems to be: "people can meet each other, but it has to be done in an inefficient and time-consuming way". Is that what you mean?
1. I said tutoring not auditing.
2. What? Non sequitur?
3. People can meet each other: at bars, walking the dog, on dating sites, at Everest base camp, whatever. 99.9999% are ok.
Meeting by becoming the person leading the lab for women who need that lab to complete their education. Nope.
Maybe then we should ban unpaid tutoring and set some industry standard minimum rates for it. Just so we can avoid any unpaid labour.
Even just having a bunch of guys in a class they have no intention of studying for or completing just to get lucky is clearly off.
Yes people meet each other in jobs and school etc. but usually by chance not engineered to this degree.
