'I believe we all agree that a college education is a financial bridge too far for many Americans today.'
Unless you were living under a rock recently, you know President Joe Biden announced that the federal government would forgive $10,000 worth of student loans, $20,000 if Pell Grants. Regardless of how one feels about this controversial move, it certainly shines a bright spotlight on the high cost of college education.
The good news is a legislative proposal moving in Congress that seeks to bring transparency and accountability to higher education. The aptly named College Transparency Act would require colleges and universities to report student-based outcomes to the public. Reportable information includes integral data like graduate completion rates, student earnings post-graduation and other metrics of higher ed success.
