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. [br] We can learn from the last paragraph that______.
选项
A、it is easier for students and families to make sound choices
B、both parties in Congress support transparency from colleges
C、colleges should provide people with more and better information
D、tuition and debt are higher and higher for students and parents
答案
D
解析
事实细节题。本题考查对末段信息的理解。根据定位段可知,这项公开法案应当获得两党的支持。面对着越来越高的学费和债务,学生和家长如果想要做出一个正确的选择的话,那么就需要更多、更好的信息,由此可知D)“对于学生和家长来说学费和债务越来越高”正确。A)“对学生和家长来说,做正确的选择更容易了”和原文不符,原文提出学生和家长做正确的选择是一个假设,而不是事实,故排除;B)“国会两党都支持大学的透明公开”和原文不符,故排除;C)“大学应当向人们提供更多、更好的信息”不是最后一段讨论的内容,故排除。
