IHEP and 128 Organizations Call on Congress to Include the College Transparency Act in a Year-End Agreement

Dec 10, 2020

The Institute for Higher Education Policy (IHEP) and 128 members and partners of the Postsecondary Data Collaborative (PostsecData) and the National Skills Coalition have asked Congressional leadership to include the bipartisan, bicameral College Transparency Act (S.800/H.R. 1766) in any year-end agreement, including appropriations legislation. 
 
The College Transparency Act will provide students and families with critical information to inform their college choices, colleges and universities with the data to better target interventions and support student success, policymakers with information to comprehensively measure the outcomes of policy reforms and investments, and employers with data to strengthen their talent pipeline. As our nation looks to rebuild from the COVID-19 public health crisis, higher education stakeholders cannot wait any longer for this needed policy change. 
 
Read the letter to Congressional leadership.
