Appointments to Ethics position, the holding pen for the unethical

Why is it that appointments to ethics positions always seem to involve questionable ethical conduct.

Back in 2014, I noted Ms. Boxill is now director of UNC’s Parr Center for Ethics.  Ms. Boxhill was a University of North Carolina Chapel Hill who was tasked with organizing the cheating necessary to keep designated athletes important to the university's revenue flow from sports events in academic good standing.  Despite not being able to complete the academic requirements.

After the scandal was uncovered, Ms. Boxhill was punished for her unethical behavior . . . by being appointed to the UNC Parr Center for Ethics.

Now we have from up north:

This is not a headline the PMO is going to be at all happy about:
PM defends appointment of cabinet minister's sister-in-law to top ethics posthttps://t.co/UnFYTdrPEV
It means Dominic LeBlanc's sister-in-law is temporarily in charge of enforcing conflict law he broke.

The defense of nepotism in the appointment to an ethics position.  

You really have to wonder about these people.
