Interesting rule in regards to titles of "counselor/advisor"

I found the most interesting part of this section to be the prohibition of using the titles of "admissions counselor" or "admissions advisor". In a previous role in NJ, my title was "admissions counselor" and much of my responsibilities were the same. I never gave it much thought, however, now I see how this term can be misleading as the ultimate goal in recruitment and enrollment.
