Plain-English Summary

The proposal would require colleges and universities to publicly disclose detailed information about their costs, graduation rates, employment outcomes for graduates, and student loan debt levels so prospective students and families can more easily compare schools and make informed decisions about where to attend. By making this data readily available, the bill aims to help students understand what they're paying for and what results they can expect from different institutions. The requirement would affect all colleges and universities that receive federal funding.
