AAU, ACE, and other higher education organizations sent a letter to the leadership of the House and Senate education committees endorsing the College Transparency Act (S. 839/H.R. 2030) and urging the inclusion of CTA language currently in the America COMPETES Act in the final and reconciled version of the United States Innovation and Competition Act and the America COMPETES Act. The letter argues that the CTA would “plug troubling holes that exist in federal higher education data” and would “empower students and families to make informed decisions on institutions and academic programs.”
