Bill Summary
A BILL To establish a postsecondary student data system.
AI Summary
This bill, the College Transparency Act, would establish a secure, privacy-protected postsecondary student-level data system. The system would be used to accurately evaluate student enrollment, progression, completion, and postcollegiate outcomes, as well as higher education costs and financial aid. It would also assist with transparency, institutional improvement, and analysis of federal aid programs, while providing customizable information for students and families making decisions about postsecondary education. The bill outlines specific data elements to be included in the system, establishes an advisory committee, and requires periodic data matching with other federal data systems to analyze outcomes. The bill also specifies how the data can and cannot be used, and requires the Commissioner to make certain aggregate information publicly available through a consumer-friendly website.
