  • 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.

We add value to our students’ education by partnering with leading businesses, industries and thought leaders to bring relevance to the challenges and needs of a modern world in which the boundaries of knowledge, discipline, nations, and cultures blur. We encourage students to question the status quo, push the limits of what is known, and to apply their ingenuity to develop fresh solutions to real-world challenges. For more than 100 years, our graduates have achieved extraordinary professional success, risen to societal challenges, and advanced the global economy ethically and responsibly. Among our 38,000 alumni, one in five is a CEO, senior executive or owner of a company. Founded in 1896 to honor Thomas S. Clarkson, the University's main campus is located in the “college town” of Potsdam, NY on a historic 640-acre wooded homestead in the foothills of the Adirondack Park. With three other universities nearby, Clarkson community members enjoy a constantly changing social and intellectual quality of life largely influenced by our proximity to the north slope of the Adirondacks; easy drives to Lake Placid as well as Ottawa and Montreal, Canada; and a high level of regional camaraderie to encourage innovative partnerships in small business development, arts, tourism, recreation, agriculture and green energy.
