That\u2019s according to a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.postsecondaryvalue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/PVC-Final-Report-FINAL.pdf\">report that a commission sponsored by the foundation<\/a>\u00a0released in May 2021.<\/p>\n<p>I asked the U.S. Education Department if they plan to adopt the proposed database, but did not get a yes-or-no answer.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are currently statutory prohibitions against the department developing a new national database on student information,\u201d said Melanie Muenzer, chief of staff for the Under Secretary of Education James Kvaal.<\/p>\n<p>Muenzer said the department is reviewing the commission\u2019s recommendations. \u201cWe anticipate more conversations with commission members to learn even more,\u201d Muenzer said.<\/p>\n<p>In some ways, those \u201cconversations\u201d have already begun.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www2.ed.gov\/about\/offices\/list\/ope\/mac-bio.html\">Michelle Asha Cooper<\/a>, a former member of the commission, now serves as deputy assistant secretary for higher education under Biden.<\/p>\n<p>As a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/scholar.google.com\/citations?user=uUXDvV4AAAAJ&amp;hl=en&amp;oi=ao\">political theorist who specializes in education policy<\/a>\u00a0and its impact on society, I think that a national student database would change the focus of much of American higher education.<\/p>\n<p>Many people understand the university experience as an opportunity for a variety of educational and enriching experiences. I believe this proposed database will shift the focus to ensuring that college graduates earn a certain level of income and wealth. Although\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.postsecondaryvalue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/PVC-Final-Report-FINAL.pdf\">the commission says<\/a>\u00a0the purpose is to address racism, classism and sexism, I think that it is more accurate to say that the commission wants to frame the value of higher education in largely economic terms.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Defining value<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The Gates Foundation created the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/new-gates-funded-commission-aims-to-put-a-value-on-a-college-education-116930\">Postsecondary Value Commission<\/a>\u00a0precisely to define the value of a college degree. As commission member\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidehighered.com\/audio\/2021\/05\/13\/ep-46-defining-and-measuring-%E2%80%98value%E2%80%99-postsecondary-education\">Margaret Spellings has said<\/a>: \u201cpeople don\u2019t spend $80,000 or borrow lots of money because they want to be better people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.postsecondaryvalue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/PVC-Final-Report-FINAL.pdf\">nods to the value of the liberal arts<\/a>\u00a0in sustaining a healthy democracy. However, according to commission member\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidehighered.com\/audio\/2021\/05\/13\/ep-46-defining-and-measuring-%E2%80%98value%E2%80%99-postsecondary-education\">Jos\u00e9 Luis Cruz<\/a>, the report concentrates on \u201ceasily quantifiable measures of value.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report creates a framework to rate the economic payoff of colleges, majors and certificate programs. At the bottom of the scale, graduates are not financially better off than if they had simply graduated high school. Higher scores suggest that students of color, students from low-income backgrounds and women are getting an earnings premium. The highest score indicates that a program is helping all of its graduates gain the same wealth as their white, male peers.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Database details<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>For this framework to work, it needs more data than presently available. Thus,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.postsecondaryvalue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/PVC-Final-Report-FINAL.pdf\">the commission calls upon policymakers<\/a>\u00a0to create \u201ca federal student-level data network\u201d to track \u201cstudents\u2019 pathways and post-college outcomes.\u201d The national database would collect information on students\u2019 race, gender, major, income, wealth and debt.<\/p>\n<p>The existing\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/collegescorecard.ed.gov\/\">College Scorecard<\/a>\u00a0collects information about the income of college graduates who received federal financial aid. The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/seekut.utsystem.edu\/\">University of Texas data system<\/a>\u00a0provides information about alumni earnings and debts up to five years after graduation. The commission, however, wants to have data on all students up to 30 years after graduation to determine if a program achieves wealth parity.<\/p>\n<p>One hurdle to the proposed database is that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.govinfo.gov\/content\/pkg\/PLAW-110publ315\/html\/PLAW-110publ315.htm\">Section 134 of the Higher Education Act of 1965<\/a>\u00a0prohibits the U.S. Department of Education from developing a national database on student information. This spring, a bipartisan group of senators has introduced the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cassidy.senate.gov\/newsroom\/press-releases\/cassidy-warren-scott-whitehouse-reintroduce-college-transparency-act\">College Transparency Act<\/a>\u00a0that would repeal this statue and permit the federal government to create a post-secondary student data system.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>Obama 2.0<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/grade-point\/wp\/2015\/06\/25\/obama-administration-retreats-from-federal-college-rating-plan\/\">President Obama wanted<\/a>\u00a0the federal government to rate colleges \u201con who\u2019s offering the best value so students and taxpayers get a bigger bang for their buck.\u201d Former members of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.edweek.org\/policy-politics\/obama-education-staff-involved-in-race-to-the-top-civil-rights-join-bidens-white-house\/2021\/01%20\">Obama\u2019s education staff<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www2.ed.gov\/about\/offices\/list\/ope\/mac-bio.html\">the Gates commission<\/a>\u00a0now work for the Biden administration.<\/p>\n<p>Tamara Hiler, director of education at the think tank Third Way,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.insidehighered.com\/audio\/2021\/05\/13\/ep-46-defining-and-measuring-%E2%80%98value%E2%80%99-postsecondary-education\">explains that<\/a>\u00a0federal policymakers could use this proposed database to determine if programs and institutions are \u201cworthy of student or taxpayer investment.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Students at schools with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/investments.yale.edu\/\">sizable endowments like Yale<\/a>\u00a0may still major in subjects like\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/history.yale.edu\/undergraduate\/current-students\/requirements-major\">history<\/a>. But schools dependent on federal and state aid\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.postsecondaryvalue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/PVC-Final-Report-FINAL.pdf\">may need to<\/a>\u00a0\u201cstreamline pathways into the workforce.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.postsecondaryvalue.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/PVC-Final-Report-FINAL.pdf\">commission says<\/a>\u00a0that its recommendations will help the country dismantle systemic racism.<\/p>\n<p>I see this as part of a longstanding debate about the purposes of higher education.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, Booker T. Washington, the founder of the Tuskegee Institute, the famed historically Black land-grant university in Alabama,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ecommons.cornell.edu\/handle\/1813\/39321\">argued<\/a>\u00a0that Black people needed to acquire economic power if they were to challenge white supremacy.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/xroads.virginia.edu\/~Hyper\/WASHINGTON\/awakening.html\">For Washington<\/a>, Black students should not waste their time and energy studying \u201cFrench grammar and instrumental music.\u201d His famous advice to African Americans was to \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/historymatters.gmu.edu\/d\/39\/\">cast down your bucket where you are<\/a>,\u201d meaning that they should take advantage of the economic opportunities available right now. Today, he might recommend that Blacks major in the lucrative fields mentioned in the report such as engineering and computer science.<\/p>\n<p>W.E.B. Du Bois, one of the founders of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/magazine\/archive\/1902\/09\/of-the-training-of-black-men\/531192\/\">countered that the liberal arts are necessary<\/a>\u00a0to train Black leaders to write, think, speak and mingle with leaders of other races.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/magazine\/archive\/1902\/09\/of-the-training-of-black-men\/531192\/\">Du Bois maintained<\/a>\u00a0that \u201cthe longing of black men must have respect.\u201d He wanted Black people to strive for \u201cthat higher individualism which the centers of culture protect.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If the proposed database becomes a reality and colleges focus on their graduates\u2019 incomes, this could have a limiting effect on low-income students. Whereas students at elite colleges will still have the luxury to major in the liberal arts, I anticipate that students at community colleges and state universities will feel pressure to earn more vocational degrees.<\/p>\n<p>Bill and Melinda Gates could use their fortune to award scholarships to students who then choose their own major. Instead, their foundation may make it harder for all but the wealthy and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hup.harvard.edu\/catalog.php?isbn=9780674976894\">privileged poor<\/a>\u00a0to major in anything that does not seem to lead to a solid return on investment.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bio:<\/strong> <span class=\"fn author-name\">Nicholas Tampio is <\/span>Professor of Political Science at Fordham University<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation has proposed that the federal government\u00a0create a database\u00a0that includes information on outcomes for individual college graduates, such as how much money they earn after they get a degree in a particular major.
