Iowa Regents to study university performance-based funding

Des Moines Register:

Funding the state's public universities based on performance will be examined by an Iowa Board of Regents task force on Friday.

The task force will study how state dollars are awarded to Iowa's universities, and determine what metrics should be used to measure performance. The regents board governs the state's universities.

Across the country, some state legislators have sought to hold public universities accountable for better performance. In Tennessee, 100 percent of higher education funding is based on a variety of performance measures, including graduation rates.
