Improving Graduation Rates FTIC Graduation Rate Trends for the SUS (includes full- & part-time students)
National Comparison of Graduation & Retention Rates Among Ten Largest States for 4yr Public Universities Two-Year FTIC Retention Rates (2010-2011) Six-Year FTIC Graduation Rates (2005-2011) SOURCE: IPEDS. NOTE: Data is based on rates for each university and does not include students who transferred to another institution within the same state/system. This is why these rates for Florida are lower than the State University System data shown previously. Largest states are based on the size of the most recent entering FTIC cohort.
Performance Funding Model (September 11, 2013) • General Appropriations Act & SB 1076 • 3 Metrics & $20 M • Percentage of graduates employed or enrolled in further education • The average wages of employed graduates • The average cost per graduate • Methodology to Legislature by 10/31; allocation by 12/31 • Remaining Issues • Predictable fund source (new funds and/or % of base) • Should a portion be set aside as recurring? • Weights (Should some metrics be a higher priority?) • Board discretion
Performance Funding Model (September 11, 2013) • Four Underlying Principles: • Focus on simple, clear metrics • Align the metrics with the State’s highest goals for higher education • Reward excellence and improvement • Acknowledge unique institutional mission • Board Choice and Board of Trustees Choice • Board picks from a list of metrics • Staff have recommended 3 different metrics for consideration • Trustees will pick from a list of metrics
Commission on Higher Education Access & Educational Attainment
Commission’s Guiding Questions Will the pipeline of college-age students produce enough college-ready students? 2. Should these new students attend our state universities, or is there a major role to be played by the State’s colleges? 3. Will there be any future need for additional universities or colleges to meet this demand? 4. Will the increased demand be evenly distributed around the state--or will some geographic areas be disproportionately affected?
Key Gap Analysis Questions • Shorter-term • What industries and occupations are projected to be in greatest demand in Florida through 2020—both statewide and by region? • What is the gap between projected demand and potential supply for areas of under-supply, such as I.T.—both statewide and by region? • If we accept BOG degree projections to 2020, what is the potential demand for graduates in top occupations? • Longer-term • Does the Commission envision a more ambitious future for Florida – with demand for higher levels of education for future workers?
Key Findings • There is sufficient capacity in the current system to expand as needed, without building new colleges or universities. • The SUS should work collaboratively with the Florida College System to expand upon demand in strategic ways. • Top three critical workforce needs as identified by the gap analysis: • Computer and Information Technology • Accounting, Financial Services and Auditing • Middle School Teacher Retention

Second year funding considered.
Online University & Online Task Force • UF Online University • Per 2012 legislation, an arm of the University of Florida was created that will 1) provide high quality online degree programs and 2) establish an innovation and research center to strengthen online programs and promote student success. • Online Task Force • A systemwide Work Group that reports back to the Board of Governors to determine ways in which online degree programs and services, including market-based job analyses, can be better coordinated among all sectors of higher education to ensure State and student needs are being met in a cost-efficient and effective manner.
General Education Core Project (H.B. 7135) • Per 2012 legislation (H.B. 7135), faculty committees identified up to 5 postsecondary courses in each of the general education subject areas of communication, mathematics, social sciences, humanities, and natural sciences to make up a gen. ed. core. Students must complete at least one core course in each area. • Recommendations developed during AY 2012-13 year. • Institutional review and feedback due November 1. • New gen. ed. core effective with the 2014-15 student cohort. • Further Information available at http://www.fldoe.org/articulation/hb7135gep.asp
CAVP Academic Coordination Project • Board Regulations 8.004, 8.011, 8.012 describe system-wide review and approval of new bachelor’s and master’s degrees • Also establishes a process for review of existing programs for low productivity • Board of Governors approves doctoral programs • CAVP-established group meets quarterly in Orlando for peer-review • BOG program database and data provide resources for review • New Educational Sites database under construction
