"Hundreds of colleges and universities committed Sept. 25 to transparency standards for students' financial aid offers — a move officials said would help students make better-informed decisions about where they go to school," Best Colleges reports.

..."Now, a nationwide group of colleges and universities — including major systems like the State University of New York (SUNY), City University of New York (CUNY), and the University of California — have committed to a set of standards to ensure transparency for students.

The College Cost Transparency Initiative, a task force composed of a broad coalition of higher education associations, announced Sept. 25 that more than 360 colleges and universities committed to a set of principles and standards for transparency, clarity, accessibility, and the use of plain language in student financial aid offers."
