Legislation has been introduced in the U.S. Senate to modernize the data colleges provide to students and families to help them have clear information about student outcomes when picking a higher education institution.
Senator Tim Kaine is one of the co-sponsors of the College Transparency Act that would increase reporting on student outcomes like enrollment, completion and post-college success.
According to a release, collecting and streamlining better data will also help institutions and policymakers deliver better outcomes for students.
