According to NPR, The Institute of Education Sciences (IES) within the U.S. Department of Education is being “all but shut down” according to employees. https://ow.ly/Ims750UXPqP Research gathered by IES supports educators, school districts, colleges, researchers, and policymakers in understanding student achievement, enrollment trends, and other factors that influence the U.S. education system. #NACAC opposes any action that limits access to the public IPEDS data sets, particularly as they inform the College Scorecard and College Navigator resources intended to help students and families make informed #enrollment decisions. #highereducation
