Abstract
In this paper, the author has differentiated between the two concept, explained the more basic issue of Authority Responsibility relationship, and has inferred that unless genuine steps are courageously taken, the terms Accountability and Ethics-would degenerate into conveniently allotropic forms, leading to a situation where what is accountable would be unethical and what is Unaccountable would be ethical. The paper, thus, answers questions on the Authority-Responsibility-Accountability interface, on the concept of the work ethics, and on the steps that. could be taken to stem the rot. It is for academic ostrich to decide and soon satisfy, oppose or Puts its head in the sand.
