Transparency or Turbulence: Colleges Brace for Education Department Crackdown on Admissions Data
On August 15, 2025, the U.S. Department of Education (ED) proposed adding a supplement to the department’s annually updated data collection from postsecondary educational institutions that participate in federal student financial aid programs.
