More "fact" finding, less decision making, less accountability. Again.
This from http://www.ed.gov/college-affordability/college-ratings-and-paying-performance
The President's Plan will:
1.Tie financial aid to college performance, starting with publishing new college ratings before the 2015 school year.
2.Challenge states to fund public colleges based on performance.
- Hold students and colleges receiving student aid responsible for making progress toward a degree
The new ratings system has not been developed yet and we will work with all stakeholders— including students and families, states, colleges and universities, and higher education experts– to identify those metrics that will help consumers compare colleges based on their affordability and value, such as:
Access, such as percentage of students receiving Pell grants.
Affordability, such as net price and loan debt.
Outcomes, such as graduation and transfer rates, earnings of graduates, and completion of advanced degrees.
