The Department of Education’s renewed focus on accountability metrics—including  the earnings premium contained in HR1 (One Big Beautiful Bill), Gainful Employment, and Financial Value Transparency (FVT)—is reshaping how institutions define and demonstrate success. This symposium, led by Tony Guida with panelists an Institutional Representative TBD, Jen DeMay and Mike Powers, explores how these regulations signal a broader shift from compliance reporting to performance-based accountability. Presenters will unpack the policy landscape, data requirements, and analytical expectations emerging from the new rules, and then connect these developments to institutional effectiveness, strategic planning, and continuous improvement processes. Panelists will share case examples, practical approaches to integrating federal accountability indicators into campus planning cycles, and strategies for aligning mission, outcomes, and evidence in ways that strengthen both compliance and quality assurance. Participants will leave with insights and frameworks to ensure their institutions remain agile and data-informed in a metrics-driven era.
