Starting in the 2015-16 academic year, IPEDS will be collecting data on student outcomes for four-year non-profit institutions.  This new reporting mechanism could be the beginning of the end for academic freedom in program development. The intention of this new reporting area is collect longitudinal data for college graduates so that prospective students can make better decisions about which school to choose.  The IPEDS data will be used to populate the College Scorecard being developed by the Department of Education. This paper will present an action-based research study, which will provide a portal solution to these new government regulations.  Prospective students will get the information they need about the schools, but government will not “own†student data.  The implementation plan will include college control of the student data and a better connection with careers for alumni. The major implication is that colleges will be able to maintain academic freedom; while being in compliance with this regulation.
