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 Opportunity 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.
Why does the Congress have the right to demand greater transparency from colleges?
选项
A、Because it has issued two acts requiring transparency from colleges.
B、Because consumers need more information to determine cost for education.
C、Because it spends $ 190 billion on higher education each year.
D、Because it has to ensure the money given to colleges meeting their responsibilities.
答案
D
解析
事实细节题。该题考查国会有权要求学校公开财务的原因。由原文可知,联邦政府每年给予高等学校学生的资助为1 900亿美元,因而它有权确保这笔资金投入的学校履行它们的职责,故D)“因为国会要确保这笔资金投入的学校履行了它们的职责”正确。A)“因为国会发布了两项要求学校公开的法令”、B)“因为消费者需要更多的信息来确定教育的费用”都未在原文中体现,故排除;C)“因为国会每年在高等教育中投入1 900亿美元”和原文意思不符,原文中提到的是国会每年对学生资助方面的投入为1 900亿美元,故排除。
