The brief has been prepared by our professional society of private college and university presidents in Massachusetts (AICUM) and it is in support of the efforts of the American Council on Education that urges this directive to be rescinded.</summary><category>Around Campus</category><featured/><tags><tag>Around Campus</tag></tags></item>
