TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) \u2014 Kansas universities would be required to publicize information on their graduates’ average salaries, student loan debt and employment under a bill considered by a House panel.<\/p>\n
The House Appropriations Committee conducted a hearing Tuesday on the bill, which supporters say would help prospective students choose a university and major by requiring institutions to provide a “prospectus.” The information would compare the average economic outcomes of their graduates from each degree track.<\/p>\n
The Senate already has approved the measure.<\/p>\n
Some lawmakers have balked at the potential cost of up to $5.5 million annually and said broader research on such subjects already is available.<\/p>\n
Kansas Board of Regents President Andy Tompkins testified against the bill, while no one testified in favor of it during the hearing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
