As the Director of an Admissions team, it is important to understand that leadership to inspire good performance comes from being honest, transparent, affable, supportive to the team. Relying on incentives is not compliant and it may make the indivuduals and the institution subjected to penalties, not to mention it would promote behavior against regulations. 

Employment cannot be guaranteed by any institutions. Not only is it not compliant and/or honest; but also it is unrealistic to make such promises. 

It is actually much better both for the student and the institution to fully disclose tuition early in the conversation

Because the decision of pursuing a course of study is a life-changing decision and it entails significant efforts in terms of time and effort, it is important to represent the school in a transparent and honest way. 

The key takeaway is the importance of performing the admissions role in a way that is effective but also ethical. As our schools need to grow, it is necessary to do it in a way that is consistent but also transparent to ensure students get a full understanding of the decisions they are making involving their enrollment. Pursuing studies and/or a degree is a life-changing decision.
