Testifying before a U.S. House of Representatives education subcommittee, Robert M. Shireman, deputy under secretary of education, said the department has put in place systems to better monitor publishers of the assessments, known as "ability to benefit" tests, and will revisit regulations governing the tests during a rule-making session that starts in November. The department will also consider publishing lists of legitimate institutions and diploma mills to help for-profit colleges differentiate between valid and invalid degrees, he said.
