Test 2

Amid all of the COVID-19 news, I missed this not-so-small headline: Admissions Counselors Move to Change Code of Ethics From Mandatory to Best Practices:

The National Association for College Admission Counseling’s Board of Directors approved at its March meeting last week a motion to change its Code of Ethics and Professional Practices from a mandatory code to a statement of best practices.

NACAC moved to make the change after a U.S. Department of Justice antitrust investigation, said its president, Jayne Caflin Fonash, in a note posted online Thursday and sent to members. The change still must be approved by NACAC's member delegates at its national conference in September before it takes effect.

My emphasis.

While not surprising, it is still striking to me that the change was approved. It almost feels like this move is the final proverbial nail in the coffin of ethics in college admissions, since the CEPP is no longer mandatory.

I just read that again after I wrote it and now I'm depressed.
