    Recommendations for the Effective and Equitable Implementation of Performance-Based Funding for Wisconsin Higher Education
    Hillman, Nicholas; Kelchen, Robert; Goldrick-Rab, Sara (Wisconsin Center for the Advancement of Postsecondary Education (WISCAPE), 2013-02-01)
    Historically, the state’s colleges and universities have received state appropriations based on funding formulas that reflect a combination of student enrollment at the beginning of the fall semester, mission-specific funding, and funding received in past budget cycles. While this approach helps provide stability and fiscal certainty for educational institutions, it also includes a potentially perverse incentive to focus on enrolling students rather than graduating them. Drawing on the latest empirical evidence, the report aims to provide a fair treatment of the potential benefits and costs of a PBF approach to funding higher education in Wisconsin. Then, it points out forth several recommendations aimed at ensuring the effective and equitable implementation of a PBF model, with the hope that a carefully designed and thoughtfully executed effort will lead to successful outcomes for all adults seeking a postsecondary education in the state.

    The UK offers a particularly interesting case for the study of higher education and its regulation. One key challenge has been the growing diversity across the different countries that form the UK, not just in terms of tuition fee regimes. In this context, this article offers a brief introductory comparison of regulatory developments in the higher education system.
