Conservative representation of the company is the best form of communication.
Educational institutions and the employees must follow competitive integrity.
It is beyond important to choose your words wisely.

One key lesson is that clear, truthful communication is the best defense. Organizations and individuals must double-check information, avoid exaggeration, and ensure that all important details are disclosed.
Misrepresentation even UNINTENTIONAL can become substantial when it misleads students or affects their decision to enroll, remain enrolled, or take on debt.
It's better to focus on the education your institution offers and stay away from making any comments about your competitors.

State the facts as they are. Misrepresentation can cause students to make un-informed decisions about their career choices. Operating with high integrity and consistency is key. Understanding the school's catalog is very important so that correct info can be provided at all times.
I learned that areas that could pertain to substantial misrepresentation are parameters of an institution's accreditation, information about facilities' equipment, protocol for transfer of credits, instructors' qualifications, etc. I also learned that it is very important to avoid making inappropriate remarks about other schools, as it is unprofessional and goes against our organization's code of ethics.
Misrepresentation can be substantial if the recipient could reasonably be expected to rely on its accuracy when making an enrollment decision. That is why it is important to be accurate, stick to the facts, and have integrity when discussing things.
We have to provide accurate information to students and prospects.
We must have integrity at all times and not make inappropriate comments about other institutions.
I liked the following statement: Conservative is the best approach in communicating information.
Make sure you're getting the correct information to the student and not misrepresenting information.
