CECU Announces Leads Generation Compliance Taskforce
At the request of some within our sector, CECU has agreed to convene and lead a taskforce that addresses new developments in the regulatory side of your work as a result of a legal order signed by the FTC and Career Education Corporation of American this past August. This order has implications for all schools who use lead generation. The goal of the newly created Lead Generation Compliance Taskforce is to update the current document and add a level of detail far beyond the original publication, which will assist institutions in controlling their digital messaging, communications processes and efforts across the Internet and beyond in ways that comply with this new order/consent decree.
 
While we have identified some potential participants for this taskforce, we invite any interested CECU Members – schools and/or allied members engaged in marketing/admissions – to share with us your interest in both participating; and or in being kept informed of our work. Please contact CECU at CECUGovernmentRelations@career.org.
