Larocca, Roger; Carr, Douglas – Journal of Education Finance, 2020
Since 1979 more than thirty states have adopted "performance funding" for public institutions of higher education.

We argue that several…

Mishory, Jen; Stettner, Andrew – Century Foundation, 2020
Michigan's public higher education institutions have seen decades of decline in per-student funding, leaving students to face costs that are simply out of reach.

Shuls, James V.; Hitt, Collin; Costrell, Robert M. – Phi Delta Kappan, 2019
When policy advocates debate how best to ensure equity in public education funding, the topic of teacher pension reform rarely comes up.

When states subsidize teacher…

Ison, Matthew P. – Educational Policy, 2022
Free higher education has become a major policy discussion of the past few years, one that is often debated or supported along partisan lines. Those supporting this policy initiative often point to the rising cost of a college education and the barrier it creates for underrepresented populations hoping to access higher education. Others point to a…

Foundation for Excellence in Education (ExcelinEd), 2021
Many state funding programs are intended to reach directly to students, but in reality funds must go through school districts, which have considerable freedom in how they allocate resources.
