Congressman Mike Kelly is helping to introduce legislation that aims to provide information to students and families about higher education.
The new bill is called the “College Transparency Act” and it would modernize the college reporting system for postsecondary data by providing accurate reporting on student outcomes such as enrollment, completion, and post-college earnings across colleges and majors, while ensuring the privacy of individual students is securely protected.
Kelly says the legislation would allow “families to make the decision that is best for them, and it further sheds light on critical information families seek before beginning college.”
The bill has bipartisan support with a companion bill introduced in the Senate.
