**2. Methodology**

This literature research used an ethnographic review of scholarly articles published on the themes under study. Documents were retrieved from Google Scholar.1 The Boolean logic was used to retrieve the documents using phrases containing the keywords, which guided the study. With regard to the keywords, the researchers analyzed six key issues, including (a) implications of "moral ethics" on students' behavior management; (b) relevance of students' "ethical standards" to public university cultures on first-time entrance; (c) students' response to new public university cultures on retention overtime through "academic freedom"; (d) African students' appraisal of their initial "moral values" on first time entrance in public universities; (e) future possibilities to learning with new cultures geared by "globalization" in African context; and (f) observations for implementations of ethics education and training. Document navigation was assisted by Zotero2 software over a period of 2 months, and thematic coding was assisted by MAXQDA 2022<sup>3</sup> software. Some documents were used in more than one theme. The themes analyzed were interpreted and discussed. Some recommendations emerged from the discussion.
