Thanks for inviting me to discuss our postsecondary value work and demo our Equitable Value Explorer tool at the @AchieveTheDream Data Summit! I appreciated everyone’s thoughtful questions and suggestions around examining post-college outcomes (both economic and noneconomic)

🧵.@usedgov just delayed the deadline for colleges to report data for the Financial Value Transparency framework, which will inform students' choices and promote institutional improvement. We strongly support the FVT and urge ED not to delay implementation any further.

But new legislative changes restrict how #FAFSA data can be used.

Excited to see @kystats continue the economic mobility research that they started as part of @IHEPTweets’ #ValueDataCollaborative! They examined the share of KY adult learners that exceed the 60th percentile in earnings within the state.
