 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

Transparency in Education Act - Prohibits the Secretary of Education from issuing a final rule or implementing a proposed rule affecting the determination as to whether a postsecondary career education program provides training that leads to gainful employment in a recognized occupation, which is required if it is to participate in a program under title IV (Student Assistance) of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA), until 90 days after:

  • the Secretary publishes a complete data analysis on the impact of such proposed rule on all postsecondary education programs and students at all categories of institutions of higher education that participate in a program under title IV of the HEA,
  • that analysis is published in a format similar to the Gainful Employment 2012 Informational Rate Calculations published by the Department of Education, and
  • the Comptroller General (GAO) issues a report that reviews such data analysis for accuracy and completeness.
