    August 31, 2015 The Honorable Arne Duncan U.S. Department of Education 400 Maryland Avenue, SW Washington, DC 20202 Dear Secretary Duncan: As college and university leaders, we appreciate the U.S. Department of Education’s responsiveness to concerns from the higher education community about a post-secondary rating system. Moreover, we support the Department’s recent announcement that it is instead focusing on the development of consumer-focused tools with newly available data. This effort could benefit students and their families, policymakers, and the public by providing them with new comparison tools and additional information on post-secondary institutions. That is why we are writing you about the Student Achievement Measure (SAM), a voluntary web-based tool that allows institutions to show the progress and graduation of significantly more students than the federal graduation rate. We know you share our belief that the most accurate data available should be used in order for these new tools to be effective and meaningful. Federal graduation rates as reported through the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) are a key piece of data likely under consideration for the new reporting tool. However, the commonly used federal graduation rate is limited to the success of first-time, full-time college students who graduate from their original institution. This has led to a misrepresentation of institutional performance because the federal rate does not account for the success of all students – particularly those students who attend multiple institutions. This month a report from the National Student Clearinghouse revealed that more than one- third of the 3.8 million first-time, full-time students who entered college in 2008 transferred at least once within six years and nearly half of those students changed institutions multiple times.
