PERFORMANCE FUNDS
New Performance Funding Allocation Criteria Each university metric is evaluated based on Excellence or Improvement and has five benchmarks ranging from low to high. The lowest benchmark receives one point, while the highest receives five points. The highest points for Excellence or Improvement are counted in the university’s total score. New funding will be allocated based on points earned, with a maximum of 50 points possible.
A university must earn more than 25 points in order to be eligible to receive new funds. A university earning more than 25 points would receive new funds proportional to their existing base funds with the highest scoring universities eligible for additional new funds. A university scoring 25 points or less, or the three lowest scoring universities, would not receive any new funds. New Performance Funding Allocation Criteria
Base Funding Returned Criteria A prorated amount of the base funds at risk are deducted from each university’s base recurring state appropriation. A university earning more than 25 points will have their base funding restored. A university scoring 25 points or less will have to submit an improvement plan to the Board of Governors and show improvement according to that approved plan in order to have their base funding restored.
FSU Performance Funding FSU receives new funding through Performance or Preeminence funding. FSU competes with the other state universities for Performance Funds. By definition, 3 universities will not receive new funds. For , FSU was within one point of not receiving any new dollars.
