How?
What are Emerging Best Practices?
slide 37
Basic Principles
• Applied to allocation of base – not just a small add-on
• Few factors that can be measured unambiguously
• Different factors for different types of institutions
– Research
– 4-Year teaching
– 2-Year
• Methodology is transparent – incentives created are
linked to goals in obvious ways
• They can be applied in good times and bad
38
Emerging Practices
• Using completed SCH – not enrolled SCH – as driver in
calculating base
• Additional funds tied to specific goals
– Increasing number of graduates – with variations for
• At-risk students
• Students in priority fields
– Increasing research funding from sources other than state or
institution’s own funds
– “Momentum Point” attainment in two-year institutions
