Yet, if a student takes only 12 credits each fall and spring term, it is impossible to complete…

Mullin, Christopher M. – American Association of Community Colleges (NJ1), 2010

The Demise of Higher Education Performance Funding Systems in Three States. CCRC Working Paper No.17
Dougherty, Kevin J.; Natow, Rebecca S. – Community College Research Center, Columbia University, 2009
Performance funding in higher education ties state funding directly to institutional performance on specific indicators, such as rates of retention, graduation, and job placement. One of the great puzzles about performance funding is that it has been both popular and unstable. Between 1979 and 2007, 26 states enacted it, but 14 of those states…
