Evaluating Higher Education Institutions and College Rankings October 16, 2007

Do students and parents have the information they need to make decisions about what college or university to choose? What criteria do we value in institutions of higher education and what information do we need to make choices about where to attend? Join Campus Progress and the Center for American Progress for a discussion of college and university rankings and the availability of public information on the performance of institutions of higher learning. The discussion will address questions about whether and how institutions of higher education should be ranked, what criteria are important, and whether the public has access to the information that we need to make informed decisions.

Lunch will be served at 11:30 a.m. The event is free to public, though we ask you RSVP on the Web Site.

Sponsored by Campus Progress and Center for American Progress.
