Policy Group Advocates for Stricter Oversight of Federal Education Funding

The Center for American Progress is urging the U.S. Department of Education to reconsider proposed changes to Title IV of the Higher Education Act. They argue that loosening accountability measures, such as removing the debt-to-earnings metric, could lead to federal funding for low-value postsecondary programs. This could potentially disadvantage students, especially those with limited financial resources, by steering them into programs with poor economic returns.
