Abstract
The article reports that an increasing number of U.S. states are calling for colleges to provide more information on the success of students' learning as well as the level of academic rigor in curricula. According to the author, this is due to a nation-wide initiative to produce more college graduates as well as to more accurately determine financial appropriations. Particular attention is given to the use of standardized test to determine schools' success in states such as Missouri.
