Requires colleges to disclose student job outcomes and earnings after graduation.
The problem
Students often lack clear information about whether college degrees lead to jobs and good pay. This makes it hard to choose worthwhile educational programs.
The proposal
The bill would require colleges to provide data on graduate employment rates, job types, and earnings by degree program so students can make informed decisions.
The impact
Students, families, colleges, and employers would gain transparency about degree value. Colleges may need to improve low-performing programs or increase reporting costs.
Students and families can compare which degrees lead to jobs and decent pay. This helps people avoid expensive programs that don't lead to employment.
Colleges compete to improve programs when outcomes are public. Poor-performing programs may be eliminated or improved to attract students.
If students choose more valuable degrees, fewer may graduate with large debts for jobs that don't pay well. This protects families from bad financial decisions.
Employers see which schools produce graduates for their fields. This helps businesses recruit and understand workforce talent pipelines.
Colleges must collect, track, and report detailed employment data for each program. This creates administrative burdens and costs schools money to comply.
Focusing only on job outcomes may discourage colleges from teaching humanities, arts, or other subjects with less direct employment metrics but cultural value.
Employment data cannot capture all degree benefits like personal growth, citizenship skills, or late-career advantages. Numbers may mislead students about true program value.
Large universities can afford robust tracking systems. Small colleges and specialized institutions may struggle with reporting requirements, reducing diversity in higher education.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
