Fraudulent student applications and transcripts are rising, and institutions of all shapes and sizes are looking for ways to combat the problem. Our March AACRAO Collective Gathering features a collaborative conversation about how institutions evaluate systems and strategies for fraud detection and prevention. This is an open discussion for AACRAO members to share what processes and measures they use to protect against fraudulent students and crowdsource ideas for best practices moving forward.
