@WSJ @chronicle @insidehighered 2/ Delegates at annual meeting of admissions officers and high school counselors voted to remove significant sections of its ethics code to resolve a two-year antitrust investigation by @TheJusticeDept.

Recruiting students already committed to other colleges post-May 1. 3.) Soliciting students as transfers from previous year’s applicants.
