Union is among nearly 600 private colleges and universities participating in a new Web-based project that gives prospective students and their families more accurate comparative data about colleges.
The University and College Accountability Network (U-CAN) debuted Sept. 26. The site was created by the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities, of which Union is a member.
Each participating college has created a two-page profile that displays in a common format important information on admissions, the student body, cost and tuition, student aid, graduation rates and campus life. There are also links to relevant areas on each college’s own Web site.

“We understand the importance of supporting families’ need for information as they consider colleges," said President Stephen C. Ainlay. "We are committed to providing them with useful and accurate data, and the U-CAN initiative is one way of accomplishing this.”
