White House "Fact Sheet" on Plan to Implement College/University Ratings System

Paying for Performance

  •  Tie financial aid to college performance, starting with publishing new college ratings before the 2015 school year.
  •  Challenge states to fund public colleges based on performance.
  •  Hold students and colleges receiving student aid responsible for making progress toward a degree. 
Promoting Innovation and Competition

  •  Challenge colleges to offer students a greater range of affordable, high-quality options than they do today.
  •  Give consumers clear, transparent information on college performance to help them make the decisions that work best for them.
  •  Encourage innovation by stripping away unnecessary regulations.
