Abstract: Section 487(a)(17) of the Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended (HEA), requires postsecondary schools participating in Title IV programs to annually report data, including data relevant to students' cost of attendance and financial aid and the schools' graduation rates, to the U.S. Department of Education's (Department) Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) to the satisfaction of the Secretary. IPEDS data are available to the public, including students, parents, and researchers, and can be used to analyze trends in postsecondary education. They also can help students attending postsecondary schools, prospective students, and their parents compare postsecondary schools and make informed school enrollment decisions. The objective of this inspection was to determine whether Joliet Junior College (JJC) reported verifiable data to IPEDS for the 2021-2022 reporting period. The OIG found that JJC did not always report verifiable data to IPEDS for the 2021-2022 reporting period. The OIG made four recommendations to strengthen JJC's policies and procedures for collecting, consolidating, assessing the reliability of, and reporting data to IPEDS.
