Excerpt:

The Administration is planning to add a new tool to the College Affordability and Transparency Center that would assist prospective students and their families in comparing colleges before they choose using key measures of college affordability and value. The purpose of the tool is to make it easier for students and their families to identify and choose high-quality, affordable colleges that provide good value.

Below is a sample screenshot of the College Scorecard.  Using the form on the right, tell us what you think of it. (Note: The sample below would apply to 4-year colleges and universities and be made available using our Smart Disclosure principles. Download the PDF to see a larger version.)
