Illinois Higher Education Performance Funding Model IBHE Board Meeting February 5, 2013 Dr. Alan Phillips IBHE Presentation
Purpose The purpose of this presentation is to propose a performance funding model that will allocate funding based on performance as a part of the FY 2014 IBHE Higher Education budget submission, in accordance with the intent of Public Act 97-320 (HB 1503), the Performance Funding legislation, and that supports the goals of the Illinois Public Agenda. IBHE Presentation
Topics to be Covered • Performance Funding Brief Overview • Refinement Committee Effort • Performance Funding Model Refinements • Performance Funding Model (FY14) • FY14 Budget Recommendations IBHE Presentation
Brief Overview IBHE Presentation
Performance Funding Objective • To develop performance funding models for public universities and community colleges that are… • Linked directly to the Goals of the Illinois Public Agenda and the principles of Public Act 97-320 • Equipped to recognize and account for each university’s mission and set of circumstances • Adjustable to account for changes in policy and priorities • Not prescriptive in how to achieve excellence and success IBHE Presentation
Public Act 97-320 (HB 1503) • Performance Metrics Shall: • Reward performance of institutions in advancing the success of students who are: • Academically or financially at risk. • First generation students. • Low-income students. • Students traditionally underrepresented in higher education. • Recognize and account for the differentiated missions of institutions of higher education. • Focus on the fundamental goal of increasing completion. • Maintain the quality of degrees, certificates, courses, and programs. • Recognize the unique and broad mission of public community colleges.

Performance Funding Model Community Colleges IBHE Presentation
Performance Funding Model(Community Colleges) There are thirty-nine community college districts. The community college model contains six separate measures. Each measure is allocated an equal portion of the total performance funding amount. Each college competes for a portion of the funding for each measure. Those colleges that show a decrease in performance receive no funds based on performance. Those colleges that show an increase in performance receive a pro-rata share of the funding allocation for that measure based on the increase in their performance. IBHE Presentation
Performance Funding Measures(Community Colleges) Degree and Certificate Completion. Degree and Certificate Completion of “At Risk” students. Transfer to a four year institution. Remedial and Adult Education Advancement. Momentum Points. Transfer to a community college. IBHE Presentation
Performance Funding Model 4-Year Public Universities IBHE Presentation
Performance Funding Model(4-Year Universities) All steps are identical at each university The model accounts for each institution’s unique mission by adding a weight to each measure. Each institution’s formula calculation is independent. The formula calculation for each institution will change each year based on annually updated data. The funding allocation is competitive. Funds are distributed on a pro rata basis according to each institution’s formula calculation. The model is not prescriptive in how to achieve excellence and success (what, not how). IBHE Presentation
Refinement Effort IBHE Presentation
Four Refinement Goals • Refine the existing measures and sub-categories to the extent possible or find replacement measures that capture what we are trying to measure in a better way (i.e. Research Expenditures, Low Income Students, Cost per FTE, etc.). • Identify additional measures and sub-categories to add to the model. • Identify better and more current sources of data. • See if there is a better way to scale (normalize) the data. • Discuss ways to account for other factors (i.e. Hospitals, Medical Schools, Dental Schools, etc.) IBHE Presentation
Measures • Deleted: Education and General Spending per Completion (RAMP) • Added: • Cost per Credit Hour. (Cost Study) • Cost per Completion. (Cost Study) • Credit Hour Accumulation. (Institutional Data) • Time to Degree. (Institutional Data) IBHE Presentation
Sub-Categories • Did not change the sub-categories. • Sub-Categories are: • Low Income (Pell/MAP Eligible) – Institutional Data • Adult (Age 25 and Older) – CCA/ILDS • Hispanic - IPEDS • Black, non-Hispanic - IPEDS • STEM & Health Care (By CIP Code) – HLS + CIP 51 IBHE Presentation
General Refinement Issues • Data continues to be an issue. • Although we have received our first ILDS submission, the quality of the data is not sufficient to use at this time. • The timeliness of data also continues to be a problem. • Some of the data we had to request from the universities • Quality • We still have significant challenges addressing the issue of “maintaining” quality of degrees, certificates, courses, and programs. • Sub-Categories • First Generation (Definition/Data issues) • Geographic Area IBHE Presentation
Performance Funding Model (FY14)4-Year Public Universities IBHE Presentation
Performance Funding Model Steps(4-Year Public University) Step 1 – Identify the performance measures or metrics that support the achievement of the state goals. Step 2 – Collect the data on the selected performance measures Step 3 – Award an additional premium (i.e. 40%) for the production of certain desired outcomes such as completions by underserved or underrepresented populations Step 4 – Normalize (scale) the data, if necessary, so it is comparable across variables. Step 5– Weight each of the Performance Measures that reflects the priority of the Measure and the mission of the institution. Step 6 – Multiply and sum the Scaled Data times the Weight to produce the Weighted results. Step 7 – Add an adjustment factor for high cost entities (i.e. Hospitals, Medical, Dental, and Veterinary Schools). Step 8 – Use the final Weighted results (or Total Performance Value) to distribute performance funding. IBHE Presentation
Performance Measures Step 1 – Identify the performance measures or metrics that support the achievement of the state goals. Step 2 – Collect the data on the selected performance measures (3-year averages) • MeasureSource • Bachelors Degrees (FY09-11) IPEDS • Masters Degrees (FY09-11) IPEDS • Doctoral and Professional Degrees (FY09-11) IPEDS • Undergraduate Degrees per 100 FTE (FY09-11) IPEDS • Education and General Spending per Completion (FY09-11) RAMP • Research and Public Service Expenditures (FY10-12) RAMP • Grad Rates 100%/150%/200% of Time (Fall 02-04 Cohort) Institutional Data • Retention (Completed 24/48/72 Semester Hours) (FY07-09) Institutional Data • Cost per Credit Hour (FY09-11) Cost Study • Cost per Completion (FY09-11) Cost Study IBHE Presentation

Scaling Factors Step 4 – Normalize (scale) the data, if necessary, so it is comparable across variables. • Averaged the measures across all of the institutions. • The average number of bachelors degrees will serve as the base value. • Determine a scaling factor that will normalize the rest of the averages to the average number of bachelors degrees. • Adjust the scaling factors as appropriate (i.e. Masters & Doctorates). • Multiply all of the initial data by the scaling factor to normalize the data.

Results for FY14 Performance funding values increased for all 12 of the four-year public universities from FY13 to FY14. Based on their performance, public universities earned back most or all of their performance funding set-aside. IBHE Presentation
Refinement Issues for FY15 What is the best way to account for the difficulty of getting underrepresented students through to completion throughout the model? What is the best way to account for less prepared students in the model? Are there differences in the cost per completion for different sub-categories of students (i.e. is cost for completion for an adult student different than that of a STEM student)? Should that be integrated in the model? What is the best way to address the issue of transfer students and part-time students? IBHE Presentation
Refinement Issues for FY15 Are there other high value degrees and programs, in addition to the STEM programs, that we should add to the model? Are we giving enough priority to measures of efficiency? What is the best way to account for high cost entities (i.e. Hospitals and Medical, Dental, and Veterinary schools)? Are we adequately accounting for institutional improvement from year to year? IBHE Presentation
FY14 Budget Recommendations IBHE Presentation
Performance FundingBudget Recommendations Performance funding should be implemented slowly starting with small funding amounts Additional funding should be allocated to performance if there are increases in higher education appropriations. If there is no additional funding available to be allocated based on performance, the amount reallocated from the base level of funding should be small. The amount allocated to performance should increase over time, but only when better data is available and only when the performance model is stable and to a point where it can be locked in for a period of time (i.e. 3-5 years). IBHE Presentation
Recommendation If additional funding for performance is not available, 0.5% of the FY 2014 Higher Education appropriation for the 4-year public universities should be allocated based on performance (approximately $6.1M at current levels of funding). For the Community Colleges, the amount of $360K be allocated based on performance. Both of these recommendations are consistent with the IBHE performance funding recommendation for FY2013.
