My prediction [is] that they will be stunned by the frequency of lies and misrepresentations,’ higher ed expert said
The Education Department will use undercover agents – calling them “secret shoppers” – to identify potentially deceptive or unethical practices in colleges and universities that receive financial aid.
“Secret shoppers will evaluate recruitment, enrollment, financial aid, and other practices of postsecondary institutions to help identify potentially deceptive or predatory practices used to recruit and enroll students,” according to a recent statement from the U.S. Department of Education.
