The popular college rankings focus primarily on prestige as measured by the SAT scores of incoming students and how many applicants are turned away. An initiative started last fall by the Obama administration could help families go beyond these limited indexes to learn quickly and easily how a college stacks up against its competitors nationally on important metrics like graduation rates, what a degree actually costs and how much debt a student can expect to incur (招致) by graduation day.
Critics may cast this initiative as government overreach. But given that the federal government spends nearly $ 190 billion a year on higher education aid to students, it has a lawful interest in making sure that the money flows to the schools that best meet their responsibilities to families and students.
Congress has taken some steps to demand greater transparency from colleges. The 1990 Student Right to Know Act, for example, required colleges and universities that receive federal aid to disclose graduation rates. And the 2008 Higher Education Cpportunity Act required schools to offer a way for consumers to determine actual costs after student aid is taken into account.
But many colleges have done a poor job of complying with federal disclosure rules, and much of the available information is not in one place. The administration’s new efforts would enforce reporting requirements and provide some new tools.
The new federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has developed a preliminary version of a one-page "shopping sheet" with data from the colleges that will allow students to learn how much they will need to pay, what they will owe, how the school ranks nationally in net cost, and whether students who have graduated are earning enough money to repay their loans.
The Department of Education has also created a preliminary version of a "college scorecard" with data to help students compare colleges on affordability and value. A scorecard for all colleges should be available later this year. By federal regulation, for-profit schools are already required to report similar information, including student earnings and debt, to the government.
The transparency initiatives should be embraced by both parties in Congress. If students and families, facing higher tuition and rising debt, are to make sound choices, they need more and better information.
What may be the opinion of critics about the initiative started last fall by the Obama administration?
选项
A、It is an abuse of government power.
B、It may disturb the college teaching.
C、It is an administrative punishment.
D、It may generate more pressure to colleges.
答案
A
解析
事实细节题。本题考查评论家对于奥巴马政府实行的法案的态度。题干巾的opinion和原文巾的cast as意思相近,都表示观点、态度。由此可推断as后面的内容即为答案。根据原文可知,评论家认为这一法案是政府越权。因此,A)“这是政府对权力的滥用”正确。B)“这可能扰乱大学的教学”、C)“这是一种行政处罚”和D)“这可能会对大学产生更大的压力”都与原文不符,故排除。
