Public postsecondary education: admission: labor market outcome and student loan information.

CA AB718 aimed to require public colleges and universities in California to provide information about job outcomes and student loan debt to prospective students. The goal was to help students make informed decisions about their education and future careers. Unfortunately, the bill did not pass.

Supporters of CA AB718 would argue that the bill was a necessary step toward transparency in higher education. By providing students with crucial labor market and financial information, it would empower them to choose programs that lead to good job prospects and manageable debt levels.

Critics of CA AB718 might contend that the bill could create unnecessary burdens on educational institutions and complicate the admissions process. They may also argue that focusing too heavily on labor market outcomes could undermine the value of a well-rounded education.
