Requires the Committee to study:

  • the types of information the federal government should collect and report on institutions of higher education (IHEs) to assist students and families in their search for an IHE, including information related to postsecondary education costs, student outcomes, and postgraduation earnings;
  • how that information should be collected and reported, including how to disaggregate student outcome information by student subgroups; and
  • ways in which the federal government could make that information more readily available to students and their families in an easily accessible and understandable format, and to states, IHEs, and private-sector entities.

Requires the Committee, in conducting the study, to: (1) review relevant research concerning the types of information students and parents seek in searching for an IHE; (2) consider whether additional information would be beneficial or confusing; and (3) consult with parents, students, and a broad range of parties interested in higher education.

Directs the Committee to submit an interim and final report on the study to Congress and the Secretary.
