The Forum on Education Abroad recently released a Code of Ethics for Education Abroad. Follow the link on this page to download a copy of the 17-page report in PDF format.
The report is released at a time when the ethics of study abroad programs at U.S. universities has received some negative attention. (See, for example, the January 21, 2008 NY Times article reporting on an ongoing investigation by the NY attorney general's office; also an earlier August 13, 2007 article.)
The Forum on Education Abroad was created in 2001 to meet the needs of the education abroad profession and it is currently housed on the campus of Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. The Code of Ethics "will become part of the Forum’s Standards of Good Practice for Education Abroad, which forms the basis for the Forum’s Quality Improvement Program (QUIP)."
The Forum also sponsors an annual conference, presents undergraduate research awards, and produces a variety of publications.

Great post… Great info on bounce rates… I’ll have to write an entry about the same topic some day soon… Bounce rates can tell you alot…
I tend to look at the bounce rate and then look at the keywords that brought people to the site. Does the page answer the keyword question? If No then there is some work to do on that or a new more focused post.
