Passage Three
A new bill in the Ohio legislature would require state public colleges and universities to send prospective students a packet of information. This would include costs of college, grants and scholarships. It would also include expected monthly loan payments and projected salary after college.
State Representative Adam Mathews is one of the two legislators who proposed the bill. He said it would give prospective students more information about what to expect once they graduate. “Putting that information in front of them will give them the best opportunity to match their skills and their dreams to what our schools can provide,” said Mathews. He notes that the state can only regulate public institutions in this way, but he hopes private institutions in Ohio follow the lead of the state and post similar information. He believes giving out this information will help Ohio’s colleges and universities to be more competitive. The information will highlight what a great value they have for their very reasonable cost.
Ohio’s schools are already competitive. The state attracts more undergraduate students than it sends to colleges out of state. Many colleges and universities currently provide similar information on their websites. This includes tuition, fees, graduation rates and more. But students need to search for the information. This bill would require the universities and colleges to send a packet directly to students.
段文三
俄亥俄州立法机构的一项新法案将要求该州的公立学院和大学向潜在的学生发送一套信息资料。内容包括大学费用、助学金和奖学金,以及预期的月度贷款还款额和毕业后薪资预估。
州众议员亚当·马修斯是提出该法案的两位立法者之一。他表示,这将让潜在的学生更了解毕业后的前景。“将这些信息摆在他们面前,将给予他们最佳的机会,使其技能和梦想与我们学校所能提供的资源相匹配,”马修斯说。他指出,该州只能以这种方式对公立院校进行监管,但他希望俄亥俄州的私立院校能效仿州里的做法,发布类似信息。他认为,提供这些信息将有助于俄亥俄州的学院和大学提升竞争力。这些信息将凸显出,它们以非常合理的成本提供了卓越的价值。
俄亥俄州的学校已经颇具竞争力。该州吸引的本科生人数多于外出就读他州大学的人数。目前,许多学院和大学已在其网站上提供了类似信息,包括学费、杂费、毕业率等等。但学生需要自行查找这些信息。而此项法案将要求高等院校直接将信息资料包发送给学生。
