Missouri Coordinating Board for Higher Education Annual Report, Fiscal Year 2011
Missouri Department of Higher Education
The Coordinating Board for Higher Education (CBHE) and the Missouri Department of Higher Education (MDHE) present this Annual Report of accomplishments, benchmarks and statistics related to Missouri higher learning for Fiscal Year 2011. This report provides a snapshot of the issues, policies and goals considered by the CBHE during the 2011 fiscal year. In Fiscal Year 2011, the Department of Higher Education assumed administration responsibility for one of the state's major student financial aid programs, the A+ Scholarship Program, and developed new rules for its distribution. Federal legislation that eliminated private lending in the student loan program went into effect July 1, 2010. As a result, the MDHE will maintain its existing loan guarantee portfolio but will not guarantee new loans issued from the federal government. Fiscal Year 2011 also marked the first year that university tuition increases (proposed for Fiscal Year 2012) triggered enforcement of the Higher Education Student Funding Act of 2007, resulting in penalty waiver requests to the commissioner of higher education. Appended are: (1) Imperatives for Change; (2) Imperatives for Change Performance Report; (3) Enrollment at Public Institutions; (4) Enrollment at Independent Institutions; (5) State Student Financial Aid Programs; (6) Proprietary School Enrollment; (7) College Access Challenge Grant Recipients; and (8) Academic Program Actions. (Contains 1 table and 17 endnotes.) [For the 2010 annual report, see ED537455.]
