42 Appendix: Resources January 22, 2014! The Honorable Arne Duncan Secretary of Education U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Ave, SW Washington, DC Dear Secretary Duncan: On behalf of the Association of Public and Land-grant Universities (APLU), I would like to express our appreciation for President Obama s deep commitment to higher education and provide input on his Plan to Make College More Affordable: A Better Bargain for the Middle Class. We share the administration s goal of ensuring students receive a cost-effective, high quality higher education experience. By their mission and nature, public universities believe in providing value and being transparent and accountable to the public and to current and prospective students. APLU believes that college and university leaders themselves need information on their education outcomes to strengthen their institutions. Policymakers also need better information to make wise decisions. We agree that greater transparency and accountability efforts need to be undertaken to better serve all of these parties. That being said, we are concerned that the proposed ratings system and peer groups would be extremely difficult to structure in a way that will accomplish the President s goals. The challenges and complexities are formidable. The proposed systems would have to take into account over 7,500 postsecondary institutions across the country and their varied sizes, missions and complexities. We are concerned the government s best efforts will produce some misleading information and perhaps create perverse incentives. With the President s goals in mind, we suggest a simpler and quite practical approach, which would achieve much of what the President seeks to accomplish. As outlined in our detailed attachment, Providing Greater Value to Students and the Public Through Enhanced Transparency & Accountability in Higher Education, we suggest that the Department: 1. Publicly provide more complete and more accurate data in a simple manner to students and families. Students, parents, and third parties will ultimately end up ranking institutions on their own based on their own values and priorities. 2. Tighten up the quality of educational institutions and better protect students and taxpayer dollars through a stronger Title IV institutional eligibility process. Such a process should include a limited set of meaningful outcomes, adjusted by a student readiness index New York Avenue, NW, Suite 400, Washington, DC fax
