International Agent Debate Awakens at Middle-States - Elizabeth Redden, Inside Higher Ed

Another front has opened in the contentious debate over the use of commissioned agents in international student recruitment. The Middle States Commission on Higher Education has proposed new language for its policies that would prohibit institutions it accredits from using incentive-based compensation in international student recruitment.
