NACAC Commission wants strict paid-agent and incentive-based recruitment policies

The National Association for College Admission Counseling’s (NACAC) Commission on International Student Recruitment has just released a series of recommendations calling for NACAC to continue a member-ban on institutions partaking in domestic incentive-based recruitment. The commission also requested that institutions engaging in the use of international paid agents and international incentive-based recruitment should be subject to strict requirements of transparency, integrity, and accountability.

The report’s recommendations will be sent to the NACAC Board of Directors, who will choose which recommendations, if any, should be adopted. Any changes to the NACAC Statement of Principles of Good Practice must then be approved by the members at the NACAC Assembly at the NACAC National Conference in Toronto in September 2013.
