Bill Summary
A BILL To establish a postsecondary student data system. 1
AI Summary
This bill, the College Transparency Act, would establish a secure, privacy-protected postsecondary student-level data system to be managed by the Commissioner of the National Center for Education Statistics. The system would collect and analyze data on student enrollment, progression, completion, and post-college outcomes to assist with transparency, institutional improvement, and analysis of federal aid programs. It would require the Commissioner to consult with a Postsecondary Student Data System Advisory Committee to determine the data elements to be included and establish security and privacy protocols. The bill also prohibits the use of the data for certain purposes, such as establishing federal rankings or summative ratings of institutions, and requires the Commissioner to make certain aggregate information publicly available through a user-friendly website.
