THECB Legislative Agenda: Aligning Funding with Student Success Proposed Outcomes-Based Funding Model for Public Universities Thursday, March 10, :30 P.M.

THECB Legislative Agenda: Aligning Funding with Student Success Model Mechanics – point calculations The THECB recommendation for outcomes-based funding includes the same basic methodology already employed in the existing Performance Incentive funding model. Points are based on degrees (Undergraduate) Funding is split between the two point calculations Biennial Increase/Decrease Total Three-Year Average

THECB Legislative Agenda: Aligning Funding with Student Success 10% of Formula 10% of Formula = Student Success Metrics (Outcomes) ½ ½ allocated based on 2-year over 2-year Increases ½ ½ allocated based on 3-year averages Equation: Average of 2009 & 2010 DegreesMINUS Average of 2007 & 2008 Degrees Equation:SUM 2010, 2009, 2008 Degrees DIVIDED by 3

THECB Legislative Agenda: Aligning Funding with Student Success Example of Outcomes Calculation Biennial Increase/Decrease YearDegreesYearDegrees Year Average Increase = 300 – 150 = 150 Metric: Undergraduate Degrees Total 3-Year Average YearDegrees Year Average = ( )/3 = Total Points = = 417 Each metric is calculated under the same methodology Points are totaled to determine allocation of 10% of total funding Outcomes funding accounts for 4-years of institutional data
