Washington, July 28 -- Congresswoman Jahana Hayes issued the following press release:
Today, Congresswoman Jahana Hayes (CT-05) and Congressman Mike Kennedy (UT-03) introduced the Time for Completion Act, bipartisan legislation to ensure community colleges more accurately report graduation rates and provide increased transparency for students when selecting an academic institution. Under current law, community colleges and other higher education institutions are only required to report graduation rates for first-time, full-time students. Non-traditional students are often omitted in reporting, leading to critical data gaps.
