11/21/11: Performance Funding For Student Success
In August 2011, Governor Pat Quinn signed into law Public Act 97-320 directing the Illinois Board of Higher Education (IBHE) to create a broad-based committee to develop a funding model for community colleges and public universities based upon degree completion. On December 6, the Board will receive a progress report from the Performance Funding Steering Committee recommending a new approach to state funding that promotes the key goals of the Illinois Public Agenda for College and Career Success, by focusing on increasing completion of college courses, certificates, and degrees, with special emphasis on students who are academically or financially at risk.
