SoCall App,
Can you confirm those proposals have yet to be implimented?

Why does OIG (in above report) acknowledge the possibility for part-time studying (incidental to purpose of trip) under B1/B2 status?
How can an alien be required to seek admission under M-1 status when the Part 141 SEVP-certificated school is not required to offer a full-time course? And, if a very strict interpretation of the B class of visa is taken (Sec. 101(a)(15)(B) of INA), the OIG is wrong - no studying may take place whatsoever under B1/B2 status. Does this not create a catch 22 situation for part-time courses/students?
Part 141 schools entertaining alien students (admitted in M-1 status) are on the whole administering Part 61 training to them - such as your telephone calls will reveal.
