Professor Obama Grades U.S. Colleges, Finds It Tests Him - Janet Lorin, Bloomberg

“Colleges should be rated on how well they help students succeed, and part of that is helping students get a good education in the field of their choice without graduating with a mountain of debt,” said James Kvaal, deputy director of the White House Domestic Policy Council. “The new rating system would focus colleges on affordability and value to help students and their families pick a college that will put them in the best position when they graduate.” The system won’t rank schools, as do publications including U.S. News & World Report, which use criteria such as admission rates, entrance exam scores and faculty-to-student ratios. http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2014-08-14/professor-obama-grades-u-s-colleges-finds-it-s-a-test.html
