A couple of days ago, the Association has written a short article on the possible important higher ed policy changes in the state of FL.  Regardless of what will happen with the Bill, institutions under the System need to make important changes.  Analyzing what is happening and will happen in the US higher Ed, it seems to us that sooner or later the proposed changes will finally be approved by the state lawmakers.  Unless more revenue can be generated by the state from other sources which will ensure future funding will always be available for the state higher ed.  The impact of the proposed changes concerning former graduates’ performance at the 4-year institution where they have transferred to is worth noticing.  For their performance at the (new) 4 year institution will be capitalized as a determining metric in allocating individual institution’s rank under the state’s Performance Based Funding Model.  This aggressive form of institutional accountability new regulation will leave a pretty small room for the institutions to maneuver.  Consequently, more resources and training needs to be devoted into IRI.2.  The State Colleges may not have any other easy way-out, rather than to embrace the change, where current or future policy will be carving around customer’s satisfaction mindset as what we have previously discussed.
