College Affordability Rating (CAR) and Future College Reaccreditation Process

Potentially the College Affordability Rating will be added as one of the re-accreditation conditions that need to be met by US colleges. Looking ahead what is coming in 2014, AAEA has seen the potential applications of the CAR among other measures in college accreditation process. If this is the case, some colleges especially those with triple Bs rating will have difficult time to survive. For those who are currently have at least two As on any of the first three components of the CAR might be able to survive. Private-small colleges such as Liberal Arts with a B rating on their graduation rate might suffer significant consequences from the implementation of the newly proposed CAR regulation.

Please write us what do you guys think the impacts would have on the US macroeconomics?
