(Of course, it is a standard Philosophy 101 exercise to defend the possible merits of such arrangements, but I find such arguments too implausible to be convincing. To the extent that the real function of such ethicists is not to ensure their employers, or future graduates, behave ethically, but rather, to provide PR cover, in one way or another, for ethically questionable conduct, I would say this represents a good candidate for Dark-Side philosophy. I have never seen one such arrangement that seemed anything more than a fig leaf for the sake of PR. In any case, it comes to mind whenever I hear of a 'staff ethicist', or when some venture proclaims that their proposed budget includes the salary for an 'ethics team', or a business schools trumpets the fact that its students are required to take a class in ethics, etc. This cartoon, it seems to me, packs a lot more truth than the average cartoon, or even the average New Yorker cartoon.

Nevertheless, it certainly serves as a foothold for corruption that is, not present in the 'love of wisdom' formula.

Earning money from philosophy does not automatically condemn it to the 'dark side'. The problem with your question is that 'love of wisdom' does not truly characterize most contemporary philosophers: for the vast majority of them, philosophy is how they make their living, irrespective of what drew them to the field in the first place (which could have very well been 'love of wisdom').
