PROTECT Students Act of 2025

Bill 119 s 994, also known as the Accountability in Higher Education Act, aims to address issues of accountability within the higher education system in the United States. The bill was introduced in the Senate and is currently under consideration.

The main goal of the bill is to ensure that institutions of higher education are held accountable for the quality of education they provide to students. This includes measures to improve transparency and oversight of these institutions, as well as mechanisms to address issues of affordability and student outcomes.

One key provision of the bill is the establishment of a new accountability system that will track and report on various metrics related to student success, such as graduation rates, employment outcomes, and student loan repayment rates. This information will be made publicly available to help students and families make more informed decisions about where to pursue their education. Additionally, the bill includes measures to address issues of affordability, such as requiring institutions to provide more detailed information about the cost of attendance and financial aid options. It also includes provisions to improve access to higher education for low-income and minority students. Overall, the Accountability in Higher Education Act seeks to promote greater transparency, accountability, and affordability within the higher education system in the United States. It is currently being debated in the Senate, and its ultimate impact on the higher education landscape remains to be seen.
