I see the notebook as a fluid document. As rules change, we need to be as current as possible. I would imagine it is also important to dispose of dated material.

All schools, for profit or non, should have to disclose placement rate

I think it is terrific that for profit schools have to disclose placement rates. It keeps our eyes on the end results: launching students into the workforce.

Being upfront with students

It is very important to make it a practice to be free and clear with prospective and current students. There shouldn't be a sales-like fear of disclosing too much to where you might lose the student. Be confident in your school and its programs, and its benefits to the students, and be honest with them in a matter-of-fact way.
