THREAD: Yesterday, in Louisville, something happened that could have a profound impact on #highered in the coming years but likely won’t get much more coverage than this in @WSJ and similar articles in @chronicle @insidehighered.

@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. The code had some teeth and the provisions protected students. Not anymore.
@WSJ @chronicle @insidehighered @TheJusticeDept 3/ Three provisions were deleted, effective immediately. Colleges were prevented from: 1.) Offering incentives for early applicants. 2.) Recruiting students already committed to other colleges post-May 1. 3.) Soliciting students as transfers from previous year’s applicants.
NACAC delegates have voted, 211-3, to approve the proposed deletions to its ethics code. #NACAC19
Here’s one: ‘Colleges must not offer incentives exclusive to students applying or admitted under an Early Decision application plan. Examples of incentives include the promise of special housing, enhanced financial aid packages, and special scholarships ...’
Key part of another provision: ‘Once students have committed themselves to a college, other colleges must respect that choice and cease recruiting them.’
