I’m
working
to
ensure
students,
parents,
and
college
counselors
have
access
to
information
that
can
help
students
make
informed
decisions
about
what
college
to
attend. Today,
the
U.S.
Department
of
Education
collects
information
from
colleges
and
universities
through
a
voluntary
survey
available
only
to
a
limited
group
of
graduates.
This
survey
is
not
offered
to
any
student
who:
--
Is
attending
college
part
time
--
Is
non-degree
seeking
--
Transferred
from
another
school
--
Doesn’t
have
federal
loans
In
today’s
economy,
we’re
trying
to
making
higher
education
more
available
and
accessible
to
non-traditional
students,
yet
we
omit
a
large
group
of
non-traditional
students
from
this
data.
This
is
why
we
need
to
pass
the College
Transparency
Act. You
can
watch
me
speak
about
this
legislation
on
the
House
floor here.
This
bipartisan
legislation
seeks
to
modernize
higher
education
reporting
so
that
students
and
families
can
make
responsible
choices
about
what
college
or
university
to
attend.
It
will
help
empower
students
and
families
to
determine
how
much
they
need
to
take
out
in
student
loans,
and
which
programs
at
different
schools
provides
the
best
path
toward
their
dream
job. Too
many
students
today
are
graduating
with
massive
amounts
of
debt
and
graduate
with
majors
offering
too
few
career
opportunities.
At
the
very
least,
students
need
to
have
this
data
available
to
them.
This
bill
is
endorsed
by
more
than
80
education
and
business
organizations,
including
Advance
CTE
and
the
Association
for
Career
and
Technical
Education
organizations
that
represent
schools
like
Thaddeus
Stevens
College
of
Technology
in
my
district.
I
will
continue
to
work
with
my
colleagues
on
both
sides
of
the
aisle
to
pass
this
legislation. |
