U.S. Senator Bill Cassidy, who chairs the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, has reached out to stakeholders seeking input on how to improve transparency in higher education. His goal is to help lower costs for students and make it easier for families to compare college options.
Cassidy stated, “Americans want the most value for their hard-earned money. They are used to shopping for products where prices are clearly labeled and information on quality is readily available. But when they shop for a college—one of the biggest financial decisions of their lives—it’s much harder to compare price and value across the available options.”
The request invites suggestions from various groups on how information about college pricing and outcomes can be made clearer for prospective students and their families.
Further details on this request can be found by reading the full document at the HELP Committee website.
