System Performance Funding Program
Board of Governors approved the original System
Performance Funding Program in 2000 Substantial
revisions were made to the program in 2002 To
align the program with the System Accountability
Plan Eight of the 17 measures used in the
System Accountability Plan (SAP) were identified
for use in performance funding and a method for
allocation was described. Since 2002, the
Program has been expanded to include Evaluation
based on Benchmark comparisons Evaluation based
on System Performance Target comparisons

2. Two-Year Persistence Rates (overall and by
   ethnicity)
3. Six-Year and Four-Year Graduation Rates (overall
   and by ethnicity)
4. Faculty Productivity (student credit
   hours/full-time equivalent faculty)
5. Faculty Diversity (Minority Faculty - fall
   semester only)
6. Personnel Ratio (Total EG Compensation/Total EG
   Expenditures)

Historical Context for Performance Funding
Measures

• PASSHE has been reporting data on performance
  measures for many years.
• Some measures have been reported each year in
  the Factbook since the 1980s.
• 24 Performance Indicators were developed in
  1998, including
• Second Year Persistence
• Six-Year Overall Graduation Rate
• Six-Year Underrepresented Graduation Rate
• Underrepresented Racial/Ethnic Faculty
• Instructional Costs (Undergraduate Graduate)

15
Historical Context for Performance Funding
Measures

• Performance and Outcomes Plan
• Adopted by Board of Governors in 2000
• Set three year targets set for both
  quantitative and qualitative measures
• Quantitative measures included
• Faculty productivity
• Second year persistence
• Minority faculty

16
Data Collection PracticesData Collection, Data
Integrity, University Review and Reconciliation
17
Data CollectionGeneral Observations

• Data submitted by the universities
• To be used in constructing the measures.
• External data sources
• Include state and federal reporting bodies as
  well as university consortiums and private
  agencies.
• Definitions and criteria are regularly reviewed
• To ensure relevance, consistency and
  comparability (particularly for external
  benchmarking data sources).

18
Data CollectionGeneral Observations

• System data collection has evolved
• More comprehensive and integrated trends that
  will continue with the implementation of Campus
  Management
• Future improvements
• Web-based tools and applications will enable
  staff at each university to see their data and
  predict performance evaluations before report is
  distributed

32
Data ProcessingOutliers and Missing Data
33
Data Processing Treating Outliers and Incorrect
or Missing Data for Benchmark Comparisons
Outliers (in Benchmark Comparison
Data) Reported data values that are
sufficiently extreme to cause skewed results for
the calculated average and standard deviation of
comparison groups. Inclusion of outliers would
cause an inappropriate comparison of
performance, therefore they are excluded. A
statistical rule is used that excludes data that
are in excess of 2.8 standard deviations (above
or below the average) Incorrect or Missing
Data Occasionally, peer data may be missing or
in error. If correct data cannot be obtained,
the peer is excluded.
34

Performance Evaluation MethodologyDevelopment of
Baselines
Objective To develop for each measure historical
baselines and statistical bounds that provide an
appropriate expectation of future performance
outcomes Calculation Baselines are calculated
by averaging four different trend estimates, 2
short-term, 2 long-term Seven-year
trends, Three-year trends, Two-year change,
and Seven-year System trends
74
Performance Evaluation Methodology Development
of Baselines
Uses each universitys own data Thus, reflects
the individual institutions history Value of
methodology The combination of 2 short-term and
2 long-term projections reduces the impact of
data anomalies, and no one methodology drives
subsequent analysis Projected baseline values
represent expected performance Assuming no
significant changes from the trend line

80
Method A (Seven Year University Trend)

• Unique for each university
• Uses the universitys own historical data
• Seven years of history (for the 2003-2004 System
  Accountability Report) and fits the trend of
  those data points
• New data is added each year
• The prior year actual is added to the history
• Long-term trends are captured

81
Method A (Seven Year University Trend)
82
Method B (Three Year University Trend)

• Unique for each university
• Uses the universitys own historical data
• Uses the last three data points of the
  universitys own historical data and fits the
  trend
• In 2003-2004, the System Accountability Report
  three-year trend is calculated using years 5, 6
  and 7 of history
• Intermediate term trends are captured

83
Method B (Three Year University Trend)
84
Method C (Two Year University Change)

• Unique for each university
• Applies the calculated 2 year rate of change
• (between the two prior years) to the prior year
  to project the next year
• Reflects short term trends

85
Method C (Two Year University Change)
86
Method D (Seven Year System Trend)

• Uses historical data for all 14 universities
• Seven years of history (for the 2003-2004 System

  those data points
• Each university has a unique intercept, but all
  slopes are the same
• New data is added each year
• The prior year actual is added to the history
• Long term System-wide trends are captured

Benchmark Average For each measure, the average
and standard deviation of the appropriate peer
group are calculated The benchmark bound (Upper
Bound) is calculated by adding one standard
deviation to the average For Personnel Ratio
and Instructional Cost per FTE Student
(decreasing measures), the benchmark bound
(Lower Bound) is calculated by subtracting one
standard deviation from the average Benchmark
Performance Evaluation The university result is

System Performance Targets

• Leading the Way
• System Strategic Plan
• Approved by Board of Governors on October 14,
  2004
• Adds third category of comparison
• Quantitative System performance targets
• To be reached by 2009
• Consistent with the strategic goals and vision
  of the Plan
• Progress and achievement
• Reflected in performance funding program
  allocations

122
System Performance Targets

• Designed to raise the level of performance
• By establishing targets for System-wide
  performance
• Established for each measure
• Sets a target for the System average level of
  performance
• Targets set using one of the following
• a) External benchmarks,
• b) System performance projections,
• c) Top peers for each university, and
• d) Top five performing System universities for
  each measure
• The targets and bounds
• Designed to be challenging yet achievable

123
System Performance Targets

• Performance targets are expectations of overall
  improvement with some universities expected to
  improve more than others.

Performance Funding Program Guidelines
The distribution of performance funding dollars
to performance categories, measures, and
sub-measures based on performance is as
follows Divided equally among the three
comparison categories Institutional Improvement
(comparison to historical baseline) Comparative
Achievement (comparison to benchmarks) Performanc
e Target Attainment (comparison to System
Performance Target). Within the three
performance categories Dollars are then divided
evenly across the eight measures, and, equally
across the sub-measures.

Performance Funding Program Guidelines
Distribution to Exceeded vs. Met
Categories Dollars awarded in the Exceeded
performance category should be (approximately)
twice that awarded in the Met category.
Rule Universities with performance in the
Exceeded category receive an award that is
(usually) three times that of those with
performance in the Met category. Size
Adjustment The total University performance
award is adjusted to University size as measured
by full-time equivalent students at the
undergraduate and graduate levels.

System Performance Funding Program Guidelines
Special Cases Redistribution of unallocated
funds When No University performance falls in
either the Met or Exceeded categories The
funding pool for those measures is evenly
redistributed to the Met and Exceeded portions
of the other measures, depending upon the
performance area where this occurs When no
University performance falls in the Exceeded
category The total funds for that particular
measure are reduced to 1/3 the original
allocation to that sub-measure. The remaining 2/3
of these funds are redistributed to the Exceeded
portions of the other measures, depending upon
the performance area where this occurs
144
System Performance Funding Program Guidelines
Special Cases (continued) In the evaluation of
performance relative to historical baseline
(individual university target attainment) if
a Universitys performance result for a measure
is baseline/target not met and, the
Universitys performance result for a measure is
System Performance Target Exceeded then,
the Universitys performance result for
comparisons to baseline is modified to
baseline/target met for the purposes of
performance funding.
