Early this morning, at midnight (EST), the U.S. Department of Education (ED) released its draft framework (link via Inside HigherEd) of the Obama Administration's College Ratings plan, otherwise known as the Postsecondary Institution Ratings System (PIRS). Several articles and posts have already covered the move, including a blog post by Robert Kelchen, a higher education professor at Seton Hall University who reports and comments on some of the key pieces: Comments on Federal College Rating Metrics (via his blog, Kelchen on Education).
