Return On Investment in Higher Education
Sean McTighe, Executive Director, Title IV Compliance ＆ Data Intake Operations
While the Financial Value Transparency (FVT) and Gainful Employment (GE) reporting deadline was delayed to January 15, 2025, return on investment (ROI) remains a prominent topic in higher education.
Sean McTighe, Executive Director of Title IV Compliance and Data Intake Operations at the National Student Clearinghouse, discussed the prevalence of ROI and the challenge it brings to higher ed in a recent University Business article, “Why Proving Program ROI is Higher Ed’s Latest Challenge.” Because college and university ROI has become a central component in a number of federal regulations and Congressional bills, “regardless of whether or not gainful employment or financial value transparency stay or go, this conversation about ROI isn’t going anywhere,” he shared.
“This work takes a village,” according to Sean, “It’s requiring the financial aid folks to work with IT, the registrar and even the bursar to look at data across the institution and build a new unique data set that can help them comply with these reporting requirements.”
