AI Summary: The "Protecting Students from Worthless Degrees Act" aims to safeguard students from enrolling in educational programs that do not provide them with meaningful career prospects. The bill proposes measures to enhance transparency and accountability in higher education institutions by requiring them to disclose accurate data on student outcomes, such as employment rates and earnings after graduation.
