NACAC Board Approves Statement on Incentive-based Compensation for International Student Recruitment

The Board of Directors of the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) has approved a statement on the use of Incentive-based Compensation for International Student Recruitment. (read the full statement here) While the statement does not oppose the use of agents by institutions for international recruitment, it maintains the Association's stance against incentive-based compensation of agents, in the following words.

The Board of Directors and the Admission Practices Committee affirm NACAC will not abandon the principle that payment of commissions based on the number of students recruited or enrolled is fraught with problems and stimulates behavior that is against the interests of students and the profession.
