Yeah perhaps the school has a code of conduct regarding the "ethical use of necromancy" with guidelines on what can or can't be done. Perhaps there are people who donate their bodies to the school for use this way, like raising the dead for use in manual labor around campus. There could be certain rules like when and for how long a corpse can be raised, skeletons must be cleaned fully before raising, zombies must have appropriate attire for their intended use and must wear face obstructions to preserve identity privacy of the deceased. Perhaps long standing zombies must be submitted for inspection of structural integrity and upkeep?

I like the idea of ethical use of Necromancy, which can also be used by detectives to ask murder victims about their killers and such. However, I'd imagine some killers would trap the soul of their victims in a Soul Stone or something to avoid being caught. As for zombies around school for labor, I think they would probably rely more on warforged-like beings or automatons, which would be more structurally sound and last longer. I'd imagine any use of a person's remains would be for strictly academic research purposes.
