It also requires the Secretary of Higher Education to establish the guidelines, criteria, and format in reporting the information prepared pursuant to the Act. The statute specifies certain required data for inclusion and calls for the Secretary of Higher Education to create a comparative profile of the student consumer information reports for the New Jersey Higher Education website
