Texas SB757 amends the Education Code to establish performance standards for degree and certificate programs at public institutions of higher education. The bill assigns performance ratings to programs based on the median student loan debt as a percentage of median annual earnings for program graduates. Programs receive ratings of "reward," "monitor," "sanction," or "sunset" based on these percentages. Institutions cannot enroll new students in programs with a "sunset" rating and must complete certain actions for programs with "sanction" ratings.
