The lack of consistency around the recruitment and enrollment of F-1 international students at U.S. secondary schools not only raises ethical concerns, but also opens the door for misaligned expectations among the various parties involved in the administration of the enrollment process.
Without guidance on best practice for collaborating with third-party recruitment agencies, secondary students may not be given a clear understanding of what to expect from this challenging, yet exciting process. At the higher education level, colleges and universities are expected to act with transparency, integrity, and accountability; secondary-level practices should align with these standards.
CSIET Executive Director Chris Page presents the work of the CSIET Advisory Board on International Student Recruitment (AIRC, AISAP, Cambridge Network, EMA, NACAC, NAFSA, NAIS, TABS) and its new Model Standards.
