This report done by Alliance for Excellent Education documents the costs to postsecondary institutions and the economy as a whole because of the high percent of students who require developmental education. This report is cited by the U.S. Department of Education and President Obama as part of the justification for tying Title 1 funding from the Elementary and Secondary Education Act to state adopting college and career ready standards

alignment standards P-20 common_core

shared by Bruce Vandal on 23 Feb 10 - Cached

To be sure, under the president's proposal states could opt not to join in a common standards effort and instead work with their higher education institutions to draft rigorous, college- and career-ready standards. But who will decide whether state's standards actually meet that definition? Yesterday, Secretary Duncan said that's still being worked out. But if the answer ends up being the U.S. Department of Education, it might be much harder to get Republicans on board with the proposal.
