A New Look at the Institutional Component of Higher Education Finance: A Guide for Evaluating Performance
Relative to Financial Resources (2005)
The Dreaded “P” Word: An Examination of Productivity in Public Postsecondary Education (2009)
NCHEMS Reports/Work on Higher Education Productivity
Available at www.nchems.org
On-going work with state policymakers in Colorado, Indiana, Kentucky, Virginia
Two Types of Productivity Analyses
1. Performance relative to funding and expenditures
• Unrestricted funds available to institutions
• Expenditures on student-related activities
2. Funding and Expenditures per Degree • Weighted by the value of the degree in the state
• Weighted by STEM and Health
Measures of Funding and Expenditures
• State, local, and Tuition and Fee Revenues (unrestricted public funds provided by the state and students)
• Education and Related Expenditures (expenditures on instruction, student service and part academic support, institutional support, and plant operation and maintenance) – calculation provided by the Delta Project on College Costs
Source: NCES, IPEDS
Performance Relative to Total Public Revenues
Measures of Performance
• First-Year Retention Rates
• Graduation Rates within 150% of Program Time
• Undergraduate Credentials and Degrees per 100 Undergraduate FTE Students
• Research Expenditures per 100 FTE Faculty (Research Institutions Only)

What’s Missing?
1. Measures of quality
2. Measures of actual “costs” per degree – by program, degree-level, etc.
3. Additional desired outcomes – e.g. measures of performance associated with public service, engagement with business and employers, research/technology transfer, etc.
At the Institutional Level – Why Peers are so Important
Comparison to similar institutions
• Mission
• Size
• Program Mix
• Selectivity
• Etc.
Approaches to Achieving Greater Productivity
• Building Cost Effective Systems
• Change the Academic Production Function
• Reduce Leaks in the Pipeline
• Reduce Demand Each Student Places on the System
Building Cost-Effective Systems
• More Appropriate Mix of Institutions
• Create New Types of Providers
• Effective Collaboration Among Institutions
• Support Year-Round Operations
Changing the Academic Production Function
• Create Programs of Cost-Effective Size (Elimination in Some Cases, Collaboration in Others)
• Reengineer Curricula
• Reengineer Course Delivery
Reducing Leaks in the Pipeline • Preparation of Traditional and Non-Traditional Students
• Transfer and articulation
• Incentives for Degree Completion
• Curricula Alignment
• Financial Aid Incentives
• Early-Warning Systems
• Improve Consumer Information
Reducing Demands Each Student Places on the System
• Students Come to College More Prepared (Less Remediation)
• Accelerated Learning
• Minimize “Rework”
• Improve Rates of Course Completion
• Reduce Credit Hours to Degree
• Encourage Use of Assessment/“Test-Out” Options
• Learning in the Workplace/Credit for Experience
If you had the data, how might you measure productivity differently?
What measures and methods would you use?
