What it doesSummary introduced in house (Jan 12, 2015)
Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that:
- students and families should maintain the right and responsibility of determining where to enroll for postsecondary education;
- the federal government, in conjunction with states and accreditors, has a responsibility and the tools to ensure that the significant taxpayer funds that are invested in student aid each year are appropriately spent;
- the federal government could play a positive role in making information regarding postsecondary education available to prospective students;
- the Administration should work collaboratively with the higher education community to make that information more consumer friendly and accessible to students and their families; and
- the Administration's proposal to rate postsecondary institutions through an oversimplified federal rating system will lead to less choice, diversity, and innovation and should be rejected.
