Outcomes-Based Funding – Seven Factors

Outcomes-Based Funding – Factors Defined Total Undergraduate Degrees Total number of Bachelor’s Degrees awarded by an institution in a given year. Time-to-Degree Factor Total Bachelor’s Degrees multiplied by the school’s six-year graduation rate, to incent timely completion. Institutional Mission Factor Degrees divided by Full Time Student Equivalents (FTSEs) and multiplied by 100. This aggregate measure adjusts for part-time and transfer students, providing a common framework for comparing degree productivity among institutions with different missions and student bodies. Cost-to-Degree Factor Degrees weighted using cost-based weights, to compensate for the varying costs associated with differing degree types. Critical Fields Factor Degrees awarded in fields identified as critical workforce needs such as Computer Science, Engineering, Math, Physics, Nursing, Allied Health and Teaching Certificates for Math and Science. At-Risk Factor Degrees awarded to students who meet federal criteria for being at high risk for non-completion. Indicators are being a federal Pell Grant recipient, below national average SAT/ACT score, part-time student, GED recipient, or entering higher education at age 20 or older. Persistence Factor Points awarded for students who complete their 30th, 60th, or 90th hour at the institution, to incentivize the use of effective persistence policies.

Outcomes-Based Funding - Points Funds allocated by weighted points The ratio of an institution’s weighted points to the weighted points earned by all institutions Example Institution Points Percent of Total Points Funding (millions) A 100 25 $75 B 125 31 $93 C 175 44 $132 Total 400 $300

Outcomes-Based Funding - Points Product of the three-year average and weight Critical fields weighted two, all others weighted one Example Factor Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Average Weighted Points Total Undergraduate Degrees 1,000 1,100 1,200 Time-to-Degree 400 450 470 440 Institutional Mission 29 30 31 Cost-to-Degree 2,000 1,900 2,010 1970 Critical Fields 300 350 700 At-Risk 600 680 660 Persistence 3,000 1,500 3,300 2600 Total N/A 7,500

Total Undergraduate Degrees Accountability measure #10 Number of degrees reported on the CBM009 – Graduation Report for the fiscal year Fiscal year 2012 includes fall 2011, spring 2012, and summer 2012 reports Multiple degrees earned by a single student are included Double Majors are counted as a single degree Degrees included Baccalaureate Associate of Applied Science (AAS) Excludes certificates Total Undergraduate Degrees Total number of Bachelor’s Degrees awarded by an institution in a given year.

6-Year Graduation Rate – Accountability measure #9 First-time entering degree-seeking students who enrolled in an minimum of 12 semester credit hours their first fall semester who graduated from the same institution or another Texas public or independent institution after four, five, and six academic years. This metric includes Social Security Number changes submitted on the CBM00N. First-time determined by the first-time student flag on the CBM001. Sources: CBM001, CBM002, CBM009, CBM00N Same Fiscal Year as degrees reported For fiscal year 2012, cohort started in fall 2006 Includes same and other institutions Upper-Level institutions use 3-Year Completion Rate First-time junior level students transferring in who graduated from the same institution or another Texas public or independent institution after three academic years. UT-Brownsville, TAMU-Texarkana, UH-Clear Lake, UH-Victoria, and Sul Ross Rio Grande. New institutions calculated with parent graduation rate TAMU-Central Texas, TAMU-San Antonio, and UNT-Dallas. Example Time-to-Degree Total Bachelor’s Degrees multiplied by the school’s six- year graduation rate To incent timely completion. On this one you might put that it includes SSN changes received up to December 31 (check with Diane) of the final year. Institution Degrees Rate Weighted Points A 9,000 80% 7,200 B 200 30% 60

Institutional Mission Degrees same as the first factor Undergraduate Full-time student equivalents (FTSE) – Accountability measure #2 Number of semester credit hours (SCH) reported on the CBM004 – Class Report for the fall of the fiscal year For fiscal year 2012, fall 2011 Includes state funded undergraduate semester credit hours Excludes non-state funded and graduate semester credit hours Undergraduate Semester Credit Hours divided by 15 to convert to FTSE Example Institutional Mission Degrees divided by Full-Time Student Equivalents (FTSEs) and multiplied by 100. This aggregate measure adjusts for part-time and transfer students, providing a common framework for comparing degree productivity among institutions with different missions and student bodies. Degrees SCH FTSE (SCH/15) Weighted Points (Degrees/(FTSE/100)) 4,930 255,000 17,000 29 The stuff in red might need to be smaller.

Relative Weight (Weighted Points) Degrees same as the first factor Cost weights – Upper-Level relative weights for the fiscal year of the degrees. The CIP code reported for each degree on the CBM009 converted to a fund code using Appendix O of the reporting manual The corresponding relative weight is matched to each degree by fund code Weighted Point – Sum of the relative weights Example Cost-to-Degree Degrees weighted using cost-based weights To compensate for the varying costs associated with differing degree types. Degree CIP Code Fund Code Relative Weight (Weighted Points) 01.0802 01 1.69 03.0103 02 2.95 13.1327 14 1.76 Total Weighted Points 6.40

Critical Fields – Teaching Certificates Mathematics and Science teacher certificates as reported by the State Board of Educator Certification (SBEC) Go to www.tea.state. tx.us In the left hand frame, select “State Board for Educator Certification” From the expanded menu, select “Reports, Data, Research” In the left hand frame, select “Interactive Reports” Under the “SBEC Production Reports”, select “Educator/Teacher Production Counts” Enter the dates for the fiscal year (one year lag) Check the “Initial Educator Certificates by Educator Preparation Program Area” At the bottom on the page, select “Continue” On the data webpage, select “Click here to download the data in comma delimited form” Sort the data by Organization and count the certificates issued for the Mathematics and Science certification areas. As of February 1 For the fiscal year 2012 metrics, Certifications reported for 9/1/2010 to 8/31/2011 Certification counts are believe to only appear once teachers are fingerprinted. This causes a considerable delay. Through observation the staff believes lagging these data one fiscal year is the most equitable way to account for the significant majority of certifications for each institution. Mathematics and Science Only Organization reported by SBEC Assumed to be the degree granting institution Points not a subset of first factor, but the certificates reported for the period Two points for each teaching certificate Critical Fields – Teaching Certificates Teaching Certificates for Math and Science.

One point for each student awarded degrees in the first measure that meets one or more of the conditions Reported by any institution as a “Pell Grant recipient” in the Financial Aid Database System (FADS) during the last 10 years Earned an SAT or ACT score below the national average Scores reported on the CBM00B – Admissions Report or by the College Board National Averages posted on www.collegeboard.org or www.act.org Part-Time (taking less than 12 hours) when reported as first-time in college on the CBM001 – Student Report General Education Degree (GED) recipients for the last six years Data provided by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) upon request 20 or older by date of birth field on the CBM001 – Student Report when reported as first-time in college At-Risk Degrees awarded to students who meet federal criteria for being at high risk for non-completion.
