A BILL To establish a postsecondary student data system.

AI Summary

This bill establishes a postsecondary student data system to accurately evaluate student enrollment, progression, completion, and post-collegiate outcomes, as well as higher education costs and financial aid. The bill requires the Commissioner of the National Center for Education Statistics to develop and maintain the secure and privacy-protected data system within 4 years of the bill's enactment. The data system will include student-level data elements necessary to report on various student characteristics and outcomes, and the Commissioner may include additional data elements as necessary. The bill also requires the Commissioner to enter into data-sharing agreements with federal agencies to periodically match data and provide aggregate information to the public through a user-friendly website. The bill prohibits the use of the data for certain purposes, such as federal rankings or law enforcement, and requires institutions of higher education participating in Title IV programs to submit the requested data.
