    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.
