Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board Texas Higher Education Finance and the Formulas Committee on Affordability, Accountability and Planning March 30, 2016

Texas law requires the THECB to develop funding formulas for all institutions of higher education In carrying out these duties, the THECB is required to employ an ongoing process of committee review Three advisory committees are established each summer of odd-numbered years to prepare recommendations to the Board The Commissioner is required to solicit recommendations for the committees’ membership from the chancellor of each university system and from the president of institutions that are not part of a system The Board is required to appoint representatives of a cross- section of institutions representing each of the institutional groupings under the accountability system Institutions Develop Formula Funding Recommendations

LBB runs formulas using spring, summer, and fall 2016 (Nov-Dec 2016) 85 th Texas Legislature convenes and HB1/SB1 are filed (January 2017) New formulas are run using base year numbers (certified summer and fall 2016 and error-free spring 2017) (March 2017) Legislature passes General Appropriations Act (May 2017) Governor signs General Appropriations Act (June 2017) Appropriations Process and Timeline 4

Enrollment is the major driver for all sectors except TSTCs Formulas are a means to equitably distribute funds among institutions Higher education institutions receive lump sum appropriations, which gives them flexibility in how they spend their funds Not all appropriations are through the formulas Some funds, e.g., designated tuition, are outside the appropriations process In addition to formula funding, institutions receive appropriations for special items Similarities Among Formula Models 5

Methodologies to determine funding levels Community college formula is 100% general revenue All others include general revenue (GR) and general revenue – dedicated (GR-D) GR-D consists primarily of appropriated tuition and fees Differences Among Sectors 6

GENERAL ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS FORMULA ADVISORY COMMITTEE FY BIENNIAL APPROPRIATIONS REPORT ON THE COMMISSIONER’S CHARGES Dana G. Hoyt President Sam Houston State University March 30, 2016

CHARGE 1: STUDY AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE APPROPRIATE FUNDING LEVELS FOR THE OPERATIONS SUPPORT AND SPACE SUPPORT FORMULAS AND THE PERCENT SPLIT BETWEEN THE “UTILITIES” AND “OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE” (O&M) COMPONENTS OF THE SPACE SUPPORT FORMULA. Return formula funding to the biennium appropriated rates ($62.19 for Operations Support and $6.21 for Space Support) over the next three biennia Biennium Funding Recommendations  Fund approximately $5,146 million to the formulas  Assumes 3.9% increase for growth in weighted semester credit hour (WSCH)  Operations Support and Teaching Experience Supplement at a rate of $58.99 per WSCH  Increase of $3.60 or 6.5%

CHARGE 1 (CONTINUED): STUDY AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR THE APPROPRIATE FUNDING LEVELS FOR THE OPERATIONS SUPPORT AND SPACE SUPPORT FORMULAS AND THE PERCENT SPLIT BETWEEN THE “UTILITIES” AND “OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE” (O&M) COMPONENTS OF THE SPACE SUPPORT FORMULA Biennium (continued)  Space Support at a rate of $5.86 per square foot  Increase of $0.31 or 5.6%  Small Institution Supplement at a rate of $750,000 annually for institutions with fewer than 5,000 headcount and incrementally reduce this supplement as institutions’ headcount approaches 10,000.  Funds required of $18.2 million or a decrease of $700,000 (3.7%)

CHARGE 2: STUDY AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS FOR ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES TO INCORPORATING UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT SUCCESS MEASURES INTO THE FUNDING FORMULAS AND COMPARE THE EFFECTS OF FUNDING THE SUCCESS MEASURES WITHIN THE FORMULA VERSUS APPLYING THE SUCCESS MEASURES AS A SEPARATE FORMULA. Fund $200 million to new Graduation Bonus for advising, tutoring and other interventions many students need to earn a degree by funding the three-year average of the following:  $600 for bachelor’s degrees awarded to students who are not at risk  $1,200 for bachelor’s degrees awarded to students who are at risk

CHARGE 3: STUDY AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE TREATMENT OF COMPETENCY-BASED COURSES IN FORMULA ALLOCATIONS. Fund competency-based education courses (not modules) using the existing formula calculation and updated expenditure-based weights for the biennium. Expenditure data from the Texas A&M University-Commerce program was insufficient in determining the appropriate funding formula for competency-based education.

CHARGE 4: STUDY AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ON THE TREATMENT OF PHARMACY HOURS FOR PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE PHARMACY COURSES. Update the pharmacy funding policy to fund pharmacy courses with pharmacy expenditure-based weights and the standard enrollment adjustment methodology. Weight pharmacy undergraduate semester credit hours using pharmacy undergraduate course expenditures and hours. Remove directions to use science weights. Adjust Pharm-D program course enrollments in the same manner as enrollments for all other programs.  Weight hours for graduate level students (master’s, doctoral, and professional-practice) enrolled in pharmacy professional practice courses at the pharmacy professional practice weight.

CHARGE 5: STUDY AND MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS ON CHANGES TO THE FUNDING MODEL THAT WILL ENABLE INSTITUTIONS TO MEET THE GOALS OF 60X30TX. State funding is an essential resource for institutions to meet the 60x30TX goals. Over the course of the 15 years during the Closing the Gaps plan, general academic institutions increased enrollments 45 percent and increased graduation rates over 11 percentage points (from 49.5 to 60.5 percent). These strides require quality faculty and staff motivated to reaching a higher standard of education for our students and our state. Since fiscal year 2000, these same institutions received decreasing amounts in state support on a per full-time student equivalent basis – a trend that must be reversed if the state intends to educate 3 out of 5 citizens, nearly double the annual graduates, and increase students’ awareness of their marketable skills, all while keeping student debt levels from rising.

To reach the completion goal of 550,000 degrees and awards in 2030, more low-income students and more students who are academically at risk will need to graduate These students require more services The Operations Support formula provides more money for high cost programs, but not for high cost students The new formula will provide funding for advising, tutoring, and the other interventions many students need to earn a degree Graduation Bonus 37

Two metrics, based on a three-year average: Bachelor’s degrees awarded to students who are not at risk Bachelor’s degrees awarded to at-risk students For this model, an at-risk student is someone who is eligible to receive a Pell grant or whose SAT/ACT score was below the national average for the year taken Graduation Bonus 38

Graduation Bonus Advisory Committee Commissioner $200 million $150 million $600 per graduate who is not at risk and $1,200 per graduate who is at risk $500 per graduate who is not at risk and $1,000 per graduate who is at risk The first priority is to fully fund the Operations Support formula in support of basic operations The decision about whether to prioritize Operations Support or student outcomes should be left to the Legislature to determine based on the larger budget picture 39
