ED Announces First Open Forum on the Administration’s College Value and Affordability Plans

ED Announces First Open Forum on the Administration’s College Value and Affordability Plans
Posted By: How May I Help You NC on October 29, 2013


In August 2013, President Barack Obama announced the Administration’s plans and proposals for combating rising college costs and making college affordable for American families. The President’s plan included three parts: paying for performance; promoting innovation and competition; and ensuring that student debt remains affordable.

As part of an effort to gather public input about these proposals, and in particular the development of a college ratings system, the Department of Education will be hosting open forums around the country.



These open forums are designed to offer the opportunity for members of the public to provide feedback and input on the Department’s plans and proposals, and to hear the input of others.

Today, the Department is pleased to announce that the first of these forums will take place on Wednesday, November 6th, at The California State University-Dominguez Hills in Carson, CA. The forum will be held in the Loker Student Union, Ballroom C from 9am-3pm PST.
