2015-01-12 Introduced in House Expresses the sense of the House of Representatives that:

• students and families should maintain the right and responsibility of determining where to enroll for postsecondary education;
• the federal government, in conjunction with states and accreditors, has a responsibility and the tools to ensure that the significant taxpayer funds that are invested in student aid each year are appropriately spent;
• the federal government could play a positive role in making information regarding postsecondary education available to prospective students;
• the Administration should work collaboratively with the higher education community to make that information more consumer friendly and accessible to students and their families; and
• the Administration's proposal to rate postsecondary institutions through an oversimplified federal rating system will lead to less choice, diversity, and innovation and should be rejected.
