  • HB 14-1319 PROJECT - FOUNDATIONAL WORKING DOCUMENT Draft As of 08/13/14
    HB 14-1319 PROJECT - FOUNDATIONAL WORKING DOCUMENT Draft as of 08/13/14 Background House Bill 14-1319, signed into law in May 2014, requires the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (CCHE), the statewide coordinating board for the higher education system, to develop a new funding formula to allocate state general fund dollars among the State’s public institutions of higher education within specified parameters. The legislation lays out an aggressive time frame and specifically charges the CCHE to engage in a facilitated process with “interested parties” and ultimately adopt and weight funding factors in a new base-funding allocation formula that includes role and mission factors as well as performance metric factors. The intent of this new funding model is to, in part, determine and implement a mechanism that is more transparent and understandable for Colorado taxpayers; provides tuition predictability while ensuring both accessible and affordable higher education for residents; and, does so in harmony with the statewide goals for higher education as articulated in the CCHE’s Master Plan – Colorado Competes, A Complete Agenda for Higher Education. Purpose This foundational working document (FWD) has been developed, in collaboration with institutional research representatives and Chief Financial Officers from Colorado public colleges, facilitated by CDHE staff, to establish a foundation of consistent and accurate definitions and data sources to be utilized and relied upon when addressing the various components of the bill. This document will be shared with Funding Modeling Expert Team to use as a foundation for their discussions as they begin to work on building a funding model with factor and metric definitions and data sources that are “consistent and predictable” as well as “transparent and understandable”, as required by law.

  • Underrated A+ Colleges and Universities
    Underrated A+ Colleges and Universities These are colleges and universities that are not quite “tip of the tongue” schools but are generally regarded as among the best educations in the United States, and are certainly well known to national companies and graduate schools. Some of these schools may not be as “front end” selective as an Ivy or Ivy-Like institution, but don’t confuse selectivity with the educational delivery product. Some schools are moderately selective for a variety of reasons (geography, age, size) but still retain A+ level faculty resources, classroom instruction, and top end exit oriented processes (getting a Job or getting into graduate school). Remember, college is often what YOU make of it and not necessarily what others think your experience should be.

Oceanography has developed in a wonderful way. The limnology advocated by Forel at the London Congress of 1895 has become a separate flourishing branch; only the hydrology of running water is still in a very unsatisfactory state. The fact that it has not a name of its own corresponding to oceanography or to limnology, indicates its neglected position, but there can be no doubt that it must gain equal rank and follow the same evolution as the two other above-named branches of hydrology.

  • Dancing on Terra -- with Terror: Disciplines Reframing Terrifying
    Alternative view of segmented documents via Kairos 20th March 2004 | Draft Dancing on Terra -- with Terror Disciplines reframing terrifying relationships -- / -- Introduction Since the 9/11 attack on the World Trade Center, the response has been framed in strictly binary logic: " You are either with us, or you are against us". All governments and peoples of the world are urged to engage in the "war against terrorism" -- in defence of the highest values of civilization. The focus of this war, and any response to further attacks, is on how to stop terrorists. Stopping terrorists is framed as a question of capturing any who may be suspect (whatever the evidence), incarcerating them (without trial), or killing them (whether in military action or through covert assassination). The resources devoted to remedy the impoverishment and injustice, which many recognize as a breeding ground for terrorists, have diminished at a rate commensurate with the increase in resources allocated to "security", whether in the form of military equipment, surveillance, or the associated personnel. Very little effort is made, or called for -- by the media, politicians or engaged groups -- to look beyond the immediate action of terrorists to address the conditions that give rise to them. The focus of conceptual and financial resources is on proximate causes of violence and not on the contextual causes which willl continue to ensure that new terrorists emerge. The following explores the possibility that many disciplines, representing the core intellectual achievement of modern civilization, have developed conceptual approaches that reframe the crude simplicity of the current focus on proximate causes of terrifying relationships.
