Notre Dame Asked For Position on CSSC Representations About Association With School-2

For the benefit of the NSSTA Board of Directors and membership as well as the Administration of the University of Notre Dame and those who have actually earned diplomas there, we are pleased to post comments from NSSTA members and others in relation to this author's exposure of mischaracterization of the Certified Structured Settlement designation by other NSSTA members.

    on the matter, I believe going to directly to Notre Dame and giving them an
    opportunity to protect their brand is a great idea.

    annoyed me".
