A regional accreditor is considering a policy change that would bar colleges in its region from paying commissions to agents to recruit international students.
The accreditor, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, would block colleges in five mid-Atlantic states, as well as the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, from giving “incentive payment” to recruiters “based on [their] success in securing student enrollment or financial aid.” According to a draft of the proposal, the policy would apply to both institutional and independent recruiters and in both domestic and international admissions.
