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 does the author say about the 1990 Student Right to Know Act?
选项
A、It asks all colleges and universities to report graduation rates.
B、It aims to make colleges more transparent to the society.
C、It provides new tools for colleges to meet reporting requirements.
D、It requires schools to disclose to students the actual tuition fees.
答案
B
解析
推理判断题。本题考查1990年学生知情权法的相关信息。由定位句可知,该法案规定那些受到联邦政府资助的大学公开它们的毕业率。由此可知,该法案的目的在于使人们了解更多的学校的相关信息,故B)“它旨在使学校对社会更透明”正确。A)“它要求所有的大学报告毕业率”和原文不符,原文中被要求报告毕业率的大学是有限制的,即那些接受了政府资助的学校,而不是所有学校;C)“它为大学满足报告要求提供了新的工具”和D)“它要求学校向学生公开实际的学费”并未在原文中体现,故排除。
