The popular college rankings focus primarily on prestige as measured by the SAT scores of incoming students and how many applicants are turned away. An initiative started last fall by the Obama administration could help families go beyond these limited indexes to learn quickly and easily how a college stacks up against its competitors nationally on important metrics like graduation rates, what a degree actually costs and how much debt a student can expect to incur (招致) by graduation day.
Critics may cast this initiative as government overreach. But given that the federal government spends nearly $ 190 billion a year on higher education aid to students, it has a lawful interest in making sure that the money flows to the schools that best meet their responsibilities to families and students.
Congress has taken some steps to demand greater transparency from colleges. The 1990 Student Right to Know Act, for example, required colleges and universities that receive federal aid to disclose graduation rates. And the 2008 Higher Education Opportunity Act required schools to offer a way for consumers to determine actual costs after student aid is taken into account.
But many colleges have done a poor job of complying with federal disclosure rules, and much of the available information is not in one place. The administration’s new efforts would enforce reporting requirements and provide some new tools.
The new federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has developed a preliminary version of a one-page " shopping sheet" with data from the colleges that will allow students to learn how much they will need to pay, what they will owe, how the school ranks nationally in net cost, and whether students who have graduated are earning enough money to repay their loans.
The Department of Education has also created a preliminary version of a "college scorecard" with data to help students compare colleges on affordability and value. A scorecard for all colleges should be available later this year. By federal regulation, for-profit schools are already required to report similar information, including student earnings and debt, to the government.
The transparency initiatives should be embraced by both parties in Congress. If students and families, facing higher tuition and rising debt, are to make sound choices, they need more and better information. [br] The one-page "shopping sheet" in Para. 5 mainly introduces______.
选项
A、the academic strength of colleges
B、the comprehensive costs of colleges
C、the overall prestige of colleges
D、the sense of responsibility of colleges
答案
B
解析
事实细节题。本题考查shopping sheet的作用。定位句中的介词结构with data即表明了这个单子提供了一些信息。根据下文可知,这些信息主要是关于接受大学教育的相关花费,如需要多少学费、净花费是多少、能否在毕业后挣足够的钱来还贷款等。因此,B)“大学的总体花费”正确。A)“大学的学术实力”、C)“大学的综合影响力”和D)“大学的责任感”均不符合原文,故排除。
