I'm wondering: If a published paper mentions that a study was approved by the ethics committee of University X, number XXXX, is there a way to find (and read) this ethics approval?

‘A Meditation on Ethics and Forgiveness of Sin Cleverly Masked as Science Fiction’

“… [its] multitude of intelligent life forms… encounter different problems that require them to learn or demonstrate knowledge of a wide range of ethical dilemmas as broad as punishment for crimes versus forgiveness for them to learning how to become accepting of different behaviors and beliefs.”

#Introduction:
My name is Robbie Norlyn! I’m a published author who primarily writes science fiction and fantasy for sale to the public. Anything else I have written, about a wide array of topics, is academic, private, or public domain.
I have had a wide variety of occupations over the years. I’m an #artist, #engineer, #scientist, and #technologist by way of experience and training.
My #AlmaMater is the #UniversityofWashington. Where I completed a #BA in #Philosophy. More specifically the school of #AnalyticPhilosophy with a strong focus on #science. However, I have a vast knowledge of #ethics and #theology due to my environment as a youth.
Why #Babka?
I’m #Jewish by descent (both sides, #Ashkenazi & #Sephardic) and am becoming more spiritual as I get older. I was raised in a #Secular/#CryptoJew environment. I grew up with Jewish memes & traditions without understanding any of their importance. Dreidels, Fiddler on the Roof, Passover, and Shel Silverstein are burned into my memories.

What really makes me wonder is the fact that many people are not even reading what the chatbot generates. It's not that AI is a tool used for brainstorming or improvement, but just a shortcut to cheat. I'm unsure whether the solution is to ban it completely or to better regulate its use in academia.
One thing that could certainly help is standardized rules among academic institutions, but right now we are seeing different policies here and there.

(... And I guess this is only the tip of the iceberg of the more general crisis affecting education)

Sullivan says,

"What ties these situations together is the utter lack of critical distance from sources on the part of these writers. The other thing that ties them together is the apparent disregard for the primary journalistic mission of representing the public."

For many of us, though, these are stories of just another day in journalism and especially at NYT.

We now know that Thomas, working for New York Times, had potentially damaging information about Epstein that he (and or NYT) apparently chose not to print, and that Thomas solicited a donation from Epstein.

And while reporting on RFKJr. as a NYT writer, Nuzzi was sexuall involved with him (and apparently, we now find, with South Carolina governor Mark Sanford, about whom she has also reported).

Margaret Sullivan looks at three gross ethical lapses of US journalists that came to light in one week, making the week "journalism's week of shame" in the words of Jill Abramson.

Sullivan looks at the cases of Michael Wolff, Landon Thomas Jr., and Olivia Nuzzi.

Recently released emails show Wolff, while reporting on Epstein, coaching him on how to manipulate Trump.

"If Trump’s first term was marked by a level of graft and self-dealing that would have embarrassed a Tammany stalwart, then his second term seems to be an explicit effort to outpace his previous record and set a new high-water mark for political corruption in the United States":
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/11/19/opinion/rolex-gold-trump-corruption.html
"By any and every measure, Donald Trump is the most corrupt person to ever sit in the Oval Office."
