The Students' Right to Know Act of 2023 requires the Alabama Commission on Higher Education to collect data and create an interactive online tool for students to make informed decisions about their education and professional future. The commission will collect information such as starting salaries, education level requirements, average costs, student loan payments, graduation rates, and more. They will then create an online tool called the Student Horizon Database that allows students to compare different programs and institutions based on various factors. The commission will also publish a Student Graduate Horizon Scorecard containing data on high-paying degrees, career and technical education programs, in-demand jobs, and military enlistment information. The commission will issue an annual report to the Legislature on the effectiveness of colleges and universities in aligning their curricula with the state job market. The commission and the Workforce Development Division of the Department of Commerce will share data and information as necessary to comply with the act. The commission may utilize preexisting databases or compel colleges and universities to provide necessary information. The act will become effective on January 1, 2024.
