In the President's weekly address (https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2015/09/12/weekly-address-new-college-scorecard), which I listen to every single week, Obama announced a new "college scorecard (https://collegescorecard.ed.gov/)."
That's why everyone should be able to find clear, reliable, open data on college affordability and value like whether they're likely to graduate, find good jobs, and pay off their loans. Right now, however, many existing college rankings reward schools for spending more money and rejecting more students at a time when America needs our colleges to focus on affordability and supporting all students who enroll. That doesn't make sense, and it has to change.

The interesting thing about it is the change in emphasis in how schools are evaluated. As you can see, Obama says it should be based on mostly economic post-graduation issues. I thought it was supposed to be based on how it molded your character and expanded your mind. I guess I'm just old fashioned.
