23 | The Board is directed to form a broad-based group of | ||||||
24 | individuals representing the Office of the Governor, the | ||||||
25 | General Assembly, public institutions of higher education, | ||||||
26 | State agencies, business and industry, Statewide organizations |
| |||||||

2 | deem appropriate to devise a system for allocating State | ||||||
3 | resources to public institutions of higher education based upon | ||||||
4 | performance in achieving State goals related to student success | ||||||
5 | and certificate and degree completion. | ||||||
6 | Beginning in Fiscal Year 2013, the Board of Higher | ||||||
7 | Education budget recommendations to the Governor and the | ||||||
8 | General Assembly shall include allocations to public | ||||||
9 | institutions of higher education based upon performance | ||||||
10 | metrics designed to promote and measure student success in | ||||||
11 | degree and certificate completion. These metrics must be | ||||||
12 | adopted by the Board by rule and must be developed and | ||||||
13 | promulgated in accordance with the following principles: | ||||||
14 | (1) The metrics must be developed in consultation with | ||||||
15 | public institutions of higher education, as well as other | ||||||
16 | State educational agencies and other higher education | ||||||
17 | organizations, associations, interests, and stakeholders | ||||||
18 | as deemed appropriate by the Board. | ||||||
19 | (2) The metrics shall include provisions for | ||||||
20 | recognizing the demands on and rewarding the performance of | ||||||
21 | institutions in advancing the success of students who are | ||||||
22 | academically or financially at risk, including | ||||||
23 | first-generation students, low-income students, and | ||||||
24 | students traditionally underrepresented in higher | ||||||
25 | education, as specified in Section 9.16 of this Act. | ||||||
26 | (3) The metrics shall recognize and account for the |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | differentiated missions of institutions and sectors of | ||||||
2 | higher education. | ||||||
3 | (4) The metrics shall focus on the fundamental goal of | ||||||
4 | increasing completion of college courses, certificates, | ||||||
5 | and degrees. Performance metrics shall recognize the | ||||||
6 | unique and broad mission of public community colleges | ||||||
7 | through consideration of additional factors including, but | ||||||
8 | not limited to, enrollment, progress through key academic | ||||||
9 | milestones, transfer to a baccalaureate institution, and | ||||||
10 | degree completion. | ||||||
11 | (5) The metrics must be designed to maintain the | ||||||
12 | quality of degrees, certificates, courses, and programs. | ||||||
13 | In devising performance metrics, the Board may be guided by the | ||||||
14 | report of the Higher Education Finance Study Commission. | ||||||
15 | Each state supported institution within the application of | ||||||
16 | this Act must
submit its plan for capital improvements of | ||||||
17 | non-instructional facilities to
the Board for approval before | ||||||
18 | final commitments are made. Non-instructional
uses shall | ||||||
19 | include but not be limited to dormitories, union buildings,
| ||||||
20 | field houses, stadium, other recreational facilities and | ||||||
21 | parking lots. The
Board shall determine whether or not any | ||||||
22 | project submitted for approval is
consistent with the master | ||||||
23 | plan for higher education and with instructional
buildings that | ||||||
24 | are provided for therein. If the project is found by a
majority | ||||||
25 | of the Board not to be consistent, such capital improvement | ||||||
26 | shall
not be constructed.
