Last week, ED has released a draft framework for the implementation of a new college ratings system. Here are a few suggestions from Zach Greenlee, MASFAP’s Legislative Chair, of what you can do regarding this topic:

1. Read the MASFAA blog post: http://www.masfaa-moments.blogspot.com. This post has some great links to catch up on new articles and commentaries.
2. Bookmark the ed.gov/collegeratings page to follow future updates, as well as have quick access to submitting comments.
3. Get this topic on the agenda for your next executive council meetings and have copies of the printable fact sheet available to share.
4. Send a short summary to key stakeholders at your institution soon to begin the conversation.
5. Finally, submit comments on the draft by February, and share those thoughts with your associations. MASFAA will be going to DC at the end of February and MASFAP’s views need to be represented! Comments on the framework are due by February 17, 2015, and can be submitted on ED’s site or by emailing [email protected].

Happy Holidays MASFAP!
