State Higher Education Funding Research: Findings, Themes, and Future Directions
Adalberto Castrejón
State Higher Education Executive Officers
While prior research has indicated increased funding to higher education has resulted in positive outcomes related to enrollment, retention and graduation rates, and degree and certificate completions (Cummings et al., 2021), there is more to learn about disparities in funding to institutions and target student populations. With this aim, the State Higher Education Executive Officers Association (SHEEO), with support from the Joyce Foundation, commissioned a series of papers to address this gap in higher education research. Authors used a variety of research questions, methodologies, data sources, and focus populations and topics with the common goal of helping state leaders work toward eliminating disparities within their states' funding model. This report provides a brief overview of each paper, identifies key themes across findings, and concludes with policy implications and recommendations.
