Time to contact your Congresspeople again - at least if you want them to stop with the unconstitutional data collection.
"1 This language was not included in the Senate-passed
version of the America COMPETES Act. This language has been offered – and rejected – in Congress before as the College Transparency Act.
“Sec. 90306. College Transparency” in the House-passed version of the America COMPETES Act violates the privacy of American
children, students at institutions of higher education, graduates of institutions of higher education, workforce participants, and private institutions of higher education themselves. ParentalRights.org opposes
“Sec. 90306. College Transparency” in the House-passed version of the America Competes Act for the following reasons:
1. Page 2584 of the House-passed version of the America COMPETES Act repeals Section 134 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1015c). This section of federal law has existed since 2008 in order to protect the privacy of Americans by
prohibiting “the development, implementation, or maintenance of a Federal database of personally identifiable information on individuals receiving assistance under this chapter, attending institutions receiving assistance under this chapter, or otherwise involved in any studies or other collections of data
under this chapter, including a student unit record system, an education bar code system, or any other system that tracks individual students over time.”
1 “Sec. 90306. College Transparency” is found on pages 2552 – 2585 of H.R. 4521, as Engrossed by the
House of Representatives on February 4, 2022, and available online at
https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/4521/text/eh
Repealing this long-standing protection shows exactly how invasive this new Amendment will be to the privacy of American students, families, workforce participants, and private institutions of higher education ."
