Bill > HF2649

This bill modifies the eligibility requirements for postsecondary institutions to participate in state student aid programs by adding a new requirement for transparency in job placement and earnings data. Specifically, eligible institutions must now prominently display in their catalog and website detailed information about job placement rates and gainful employment outcomes for each of their specific fields of study, including median earnings of graduates. Institutions will be required to annually report this job placement and earnings information to the state office, which will develop specific metrics for reporting. The office will also conduct random audits to ensure compliance and must report any instances of noncompliance to the chairs and ranking minority members of the legislative committees responsible for higher education. This new provision aims to provide prospective students with more comprehensive information about the potential career outcomes of their chosen fields of study, helping them make more informed decisions about their educational investments.
