Higher Education Opportunity Act
The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA) of 2008 is a reauthorization of the Higher Education Act of 1965. It requires postsecondary institutions to be more transparent about costs and requires that the institution post a net price calculator as well as security and copyright policies on its website.62 While many of the provisions in this act do not directly affect faculty (since they relate to administrative offices that deal with fees, growth, public relations, credits, etc.), the following do affect faculty: the textbook information provision, the definition of distance education, and the requirement to establish that students are indeed who they say they are.63,64
