Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the past 40 years, performance-based funding has become a common tool of state legislatures to hold institutions accountable for student outcomes. Performance funding allocates state money to institutions based on a specific set of measures. However, states vary in the measures they select, methods for determining funding allocations, and the proportion of state funds reserved for performance funding. Common measures include retention rates, completion rates, labor market outcomes, and equity measures, but legislators may alter standardized measures to fit the political needs of their state. Although recent research estimates that over 35 states have adopted performance funding policies, the effectiveness of these policies is inconclusive and the unintended consequences have led to institutional mission narrowing and decreased acceptance rates for underserved students. This study analyzed the adoption of performance-based funding polices with three models. First, a state's likelihood to adopt a performance funding 1.0 policy. Second, a state's likelihood to adopt a performance funding 2.0 policy. Third, a state's likelihood to adopt any performance funding policy. Event history analysis was utilized to explore factors that impacted a state's likelihood to adopt these policies, focusing on both the influence of adoption through policy diffusion (regional accrediting agency groups) and internal determinants (political factors, education/unemployment factors, and higher education factors). This study extended the work of previous researchers in three important ways. First, by comparing results for the adoption of performance funding 1.0 and 2.0 policies independently. Second, by analyzing the adoption of performance funding policies through geographic regions, identified as regional accrediting organizations. Finally, by including new internal determinants not utilized in previous studies focusing on the adoption of performance funding policies. Data were collected from a variety of state-level sources and the dataset included information on 47 states from 1993 to 2013. All three models utilized similar syntax for the event history analysis and while there were statistically significant results, they were not consistent across all three models. For state adoption of a performance funding 1.0 policy, a Republican controlled legislature, consolidated governing board, unemployment rate, percent change in Fall term enrollment, and number of doctoral institutions were found to have a significant impact. For state adoption of a performance funding 2.0 policy, the percent of states in the accrediting region that already adopted a performance funding 2.0 policy and the educational attainment rate were found to have a significant impact on policy adoption. Finally, for state adoption of any policy, a Republican controlled legislature, legislative term limits, consolidated governing board, and percent change in Fall term enrollment were found to have a significant impact. In the variables listed above, a Republican legislature, legislative term limits, and states with more doctoral institutions increased the likelihood of policy adoption, while the percent of states in the accrediting region that already adopted a performance funding policy, the presence of a consolidated governing board, increases in a state's educational attainment rate, and increases in the percent change in Fall term enrollment decreased the likelihood of policy adoption. This study adds to the higher education literature by separately analyzing the adoption of performance funding 1.0 and 2.0 policies and finding differences in the factors that impact adoption. These differences indicate the importance of viewing performance funding 1.0 and 2.0 policies as distinct, rather than under an umbrella term of performance-based funding.
Book Synopsis The Politics of Performance Funding for Higher Education by : Kevin J. Dougherty
Download or read book The Politics of Performance Funding for Higher Education written by Kevin J. Dougherty and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first nation-wide analysis of the politics of performance funding in higher education. Performance funding ties state support of colleges and universities directly to institutional performance on specific outcomes, including retention, number of credits accrued, graduation, and job placement. The theory is that introducing market-like forces will prod institutions to become more efficient and effective. In The Politics of Performance Funding for Higher Education, Kevin J. Dougherty and Rebecca S. Natow explore the sometimes puzzling evolution of this mode of funding higher education. Drawing on an eight-state study of performance funding in Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, Ohio, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Washington, Dougherty and Natow shed light on the social and political factors affecting the origins, evolution, and demise of these programs. Their findings uncover patterns of frequent adoption, discontinuation, and re-adoption. Of the thirty-six states that have ever adopted performance funding, two-thirds discontinued it, although many of those later re-adopted it. Even when performance funding programs persist over time, they can undergo considerable changes in both the amount of state funding and in the indicators used to allocate funding. Yet performance funding continues to attract interest from federal and state officials, state policy associations, and major foundations as a way of improving educational outcomes. The authors explore the various forces, actors, and motives behind the adoption, discontinuation, and transformation of performance funding programs. They compare U.S. programs to international models, and they gauge the likely future of performance funding, given the volatility of the political forces driving it. Aimed at educators, sociologists, political scientists, and policy makers, this book will be hailed as the definitive assessment of the origins and evolution of performance funding.
Book Synopsis Outcomes Based Funding and Race in Higher Education by : Tiffany Jones
Download or read book Outcomes Based Funding and Race in Higher Education written by Tiffany Jones and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-30 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines how Performance or Outcomes Based Funding (POBF) policies impact racial equity in higher education. Over the last decade, higher education has become entrenched in a movement that holds colleges and universities more accountable to its supporters. There are pressures to answer questions about student outcomes and performance, the value of education, the effectiveness of instructors, and the ability of existing leaders to manage efficiently and effectively. It is within this climate that states have adopted POBF policies. Through POBF, public colleges and universities receive state funding through formulas that no longer rely solely on student enrollment, but are instead based on student outcomes. This book provides an overview for policymakers of how racial equity has been addressed, the impact of these approaches, and recommendations for moving forward.
Book Synopsis Funding Public Colleges and Universities for Performance by : Joseph C. Burke
Download or read book Funding Public Colleges and Universities for Performance written by Joseph C. Burke and published by Rockefeller Institute Press. This book was released on 2002-10-10 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first comprehensive study of performance funding of public colleges and universities, which directly ties some state allocations to institutional results on designated indicators. The book examines performance funding as a national phenomenon, identifying the champions and critics of the program, the arguments for and against its adoption, the most common performance measures used for funding, the characteristics that separate stable from unstable initiatives, and the inherent possibilities and problems. The authors include case studies of performance funding in Tennessee, Missouri, Florida, Ohio, and South Carolina, and explore the reasons why Arkansas, Colorado, Kentucky, and Minnesota first adopted and later abandoned their programs. They examine problems with performance funding, such as the reluctance of the academic community to agree on reasonable goals for undergraduate education or the failure to apply performance funding to the academic departments that are mostly responsible for institutional results on many of the performance indicators. The contributors conclude that although the future of performance funding remains cloudy, one aspect is becoming clear—taxpayers are unlikely to continue to accept the proposition that performance should count in all endeavors except state funding for higher education. Contributors include E. Grady Brogue, Joseph C. Burke, Juan C. Copa, Patrick Dallet, Terri Lessard, Gary Moden, Dr. Robert B. Stein, Michael Williford, and David J. Wright.
Book Synopsis A Policy Analysis of Performance-based Funding in the State University System of Florida by : Monika Alesnik
Download or read book A Policy Analysis of Performance-based Funding in the State University System of Florida written by Monika Alesnik and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Performance-based funding in the State University System of Florida is the principle legislative based funding method for the states 12 public universities. The system and the policy is governed by the Florida Board of Governors. However, Florida’s legislative branch has ultimate authority in regards to the policy. There is a gap of knowledge on the critical factors which led to the development, implementation and adoption of this policy. Data were collected using primary and secondary document analysis as well as through interviews with individuals in the following groups: elected officials, higher education leaders, staff, financial or policy influencers and other higher education stakeholders. Four themes emerged from the analysis of the data; the economy, accountability, the “political-ness” of Florida as well as the importance of investing in the state’s public higher education system. Using Kingdon (2011) Agendas, Alternatives, and Public Policies as the theoretical framework of the study, the themes were then interpreted using Kingdon’s three streams: the problem stream, the policy stream and the political stream which converge to create policy. The themes aligned with and expanded the understanding of the critical factors which led to the adoption and continued use of performance-based funding in the State University System of Florida. Suggestions for future research were also identified.

Download or read book Performance Funding for Higher Education: What Are the Mechanisms? What Are the Impacts? written by Kevin J. Dougherty and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-06-19 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After first appearing in 1979 in Tennessee, performance funding for higher education went on to be adopted by another 26 states. This monograph reviews research on a multitude of states to address these questions: • What impacts does performance funding have on institutional practices and, ultimately, student outcomes? • What obstacles and unintended effects do performance funding encounter? This monograph finds considerable impacts on institutional practices, weak impacts on student outcomes, substantial obstacles, and sizable unintended impacts. Given this, the monograph closes with a discussion of the implications for future research and for public policymaking on performance funding. This is the 2nd issue of the 39th volume of the Jossey-Bass series ASHE Higher Education Report. Each monograph is the definitive analysis of a tough higher education issue, based on thorough research of pertinent literature and institutional experiences. Topics are identified by a national survey. Noted practitioners and scholars are then commissioned to write the reports, with experts providing critical reviews of each manuscript before publication.

Book Synopsis Administrative Bloat in Higher Education by : J. David Johnson
Download or read book Administrative Bloat in Higher Education written by J. David Johnson and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-06-23 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a detailed examination of the processes that lead to unsustainable growth of nonessential personnel in the modern university. It explores administrative bloat, a major contributor to the rising costs of a college education, comprehensively detailing its development through the examination of case studies. After defining bloat and considering many of the factors that contribute to it (and its associated consequences), a number of case studies are used to elaborate and expand on the themes developed in the initial chapter. The first case focuses on the complex infrastructures being developed to promote the strategically ambiguous focus on student success. Universities have developed a number of information dissemination programs in recent years. One such program that is also explicitly targeted at the commercialization of university research is the development of technology transfer offices. Relatedly, the next case focuses on the institutional pressures brought by various stakeholders to emulate the success of the famed Research Triangle in North Carolina by developing technology incubators and research and development parks that promote entrepreneurship. The final case study focuses on the promise of technology, particularly in the form of distance learning. The final chapter summarizes the book and addresses some more general issues, asking questions such as: What is success? What are the ethical concerns raised by bloat? How do they relate to the individual interests? What manifest and latent functions does it serve?
Book Synopsis The Renaissance of Performance Funding for Higher Education by : Amy Y. Li
Download or read book The Renaissance of Performance Funding for Higher Education written by Amy Y. Li and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation examines performance funding for higher education, an increasingly prevalent state policy that allocates funding to public colleges and universities based on student outcomes. In three distinct studies with individual datasets and a mixed-methods approach, this dissertation first uncovers whether policy diffusion mechanisms, political influences, and philanthropic foundation involvement contribute to the spread of performance funding. Policy redesign and micro-level campus practices are investigated, with focus on faculty incentives and data usage to improve retention of underrepresented students and in the STEM fields. Lastly, special incentives for greater STEM degree completion are analyzed to determine whether on a macro-level, STEM degrees have increased as a result of performance funding. This dissertation additionally offers implications for policy and practice regarding the role of performance funding in advancing the national college completion agenda.
