1 | HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION
| ||||||
2 | WHEREAS, State appropriations to public colleges and | ||||||
3 | universities have historically been made on the bases of | ||||||
4 | enrollments rather than completions; and
| ||||||
5 | WHEREAS, The current and future workforce needs, combined | ||||||
6 | with Illinois' financial difficulties, compel the State of | ||||||
7 | Illinois to examine higher education funding based on course | ||||||
8 | completion rates or other similar indicators of success; and
| ||||||
9 | WHEREAS, Increasing the number of high quality | ||||||
10 | post-secondary credentials to meet the demands of the economy | ||||||
11 | and an increasingly global society is Goal 3 of the Illinois | ||||||
12 | Public Agenda for College and Career Success; and
| ||||||
13 | WHEREAS, Many of the several states in the United States | ||||||
14 | are considering ways to provide an incentive to institutions of | ||||||
15 | higher learning not just to enroll students, but also to ensure | ||||||
16 | that they earn the credentials required by the workplace; and
| ||||||
17 | WHEREAS, Performance-based funding may represent a | ||||||
18 | relatively small percentage of a state's higher education | ||||||
19 | budget which some experts assert that it can lead to remarkable | ||||||
20 | results; and
|
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | WHEREAS, The challenge for states is to create a financing | ||||||
2 | system that is clearly understood and yet flexible enough to | ||||||
3 | account for differences in institutional mission and | ||||||
4 | demographics; and
| ||||||
5 | WHEREAS, The same set of guidelines and performance targets | ||||||
6 | should probably not be applied similarly to community colleges, | ||||||
7 | bachelor's and master's degree institutions, and research | ||||||
8 | universities; therefore, be it
| ||||||
9 | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE | ||||||
10 | NINETY-SIXTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, THE | ||||||
11 | SENATE CONCURRING HEREIN, that the Board of Higher Education, | ||||||
12 | working in concert with the Illinois Community College Board | ||||||
13 | and the Illinois Student Assistance Commission, shall | ||||||
14 | undertake a study of the implementation of performance-based | ||||||
15 | funding for higher education; and be it further
| ||||||
16 | RESOLVED, That the Board of Higher Education, the Illinois | ||||||
17 | Community College Board, and the Illinois Student Assistance | ||||||
18 | Commission shall prepare a report by June 1, 2010 with findings | ||||||
19 | and submit that report to the General Assembly; and be it | ||||||
20 | further
| ||||||
21 | RESOLVED, that the Board of Higher Education shall provide | ||||||
22 | administrative support for the study and report; and be it |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | further
| ||||||
2 | Resolved, That suitable copies of this resolution be | ||||||
3 | delivered to the chairpersons of the Board of Higher Education, | ||||||
4 | the Illinois Student Assistance Commission, and the Illinois | ||||||
5 | Community College Board.
