Public Comment Letter Regarding Public Transparency for Low-Financial-Value Postsecondary Programs

February 10, 2023

CHEPP submitted the following public comment to the U.S. Department of Education’s request for information (RFI) Regarding Public Transparency for Low-Financial-Value Postsecondary Programs. Students pursuing a higher education are changing; they are working, raising children, and financially dependent from their parents. CHEPP agrees that transparency and accountability for programs are essential but believes that the interests of today’s learners must be captured when measuring program value. A single value index would not adequately capture factors like student access and belonging that drive many learners’ decisions when choosing a higher education program. We hope this information is helpful to the Department in developing a new low-financial-value program measure.
