QIS 2000 Overview
Summary of indicator items
- Items used for funding in four-year institutions in 01-02
- 1, 3: Grad and persistence rates – as last year; benchmark changed
- 2: Instructional workload – same as last year
- 4: Achievement on tests – similar to last year
- 5: Administrative costs -- calculation changed from last year
- 6: Sections of required classes -- new
- 7: Minority grad and persistence rates -- new
- 8: Pct of bachelors programs requiring only 120
hours -- new
- 9, 10: Two institutionally-specified measures –
requirements changed from last year
- Items dropped since last year
- Percentage of graduates with no more than 110%
of required single-degree hours
- Undergraduate class size
- Diversity plan (replaced with new #7)
- Items for 2000 but not to be used for funding (though
may be added for funding in future years)
- 10 items requiring statements documenting our compliance
- Graduation-year assessment plan
- Items passed by CCHE 11/99 but not included in QIS 2000 – may be included next year
- Sophomore exam
- Several surveys
Approach to benchmarking/points
- Use national or at least peer data whenever possible
- Where possible, calculate a benchmark, expected, or
predicted value for each institution. E.g., graduation rates
as a function of entering-student academic preparation and other factors.
Then compare the institution’s performance to expected/predicted.
- Some benchmarks are absolute values stated by CCHE.
- No points for improvement, just for reaching benchmarks. Checks for improvement will start "next
year."
- Bonus points are new this year. Total bonus points
(for performance better than benchmark) cannot exceed 5% of the base-point
totals on each indicator or indicator component. For example, the four-year graduation rate is one of three
components of indicator 1, so it is worth 60 points plus 3 possible bonus points
Timetable
- Data files and written statements due by October 1
or October 15. DONE
- Oct/Nov: Data verification - DONE
- Mid Nov: Graduation year assessment plan to CCHE. DONE
- Dec/Jan: CCHE report to legislature, point calculations,
institutional responses. DONE
- Later - Final Funding
CU-Boulder Results
CU-Boulder met or exceeded benchmarks on all components of all indicators except one,
weekly ontact hours in group instruction per faculty FTE (indicator #2). Overall we earned
101% of base points. Other four-year schools earned between 88% and 102% of base points. Both CU-Boulder
and the Regents schools combined (CU-Boulder, CU-Denver, and CU-Colorado Springs) earned more than
their base share of performance funding. For CU-Boulder, actual funding will be about $30,000 more than
what our funding would have been with no performance funding system.
