Ball State President Criticizes Indiana Higher Education Funding Plan
What happened
Ball State University President Geoffrey Mearns told the Indiana Commission for Higher Education that the commission's plan to restore performance funding for the state’s seven public colleges and universities is premature. This outcomes-based performance funding uses a formula to reward colleges for positive results, such as on-time degree completion.

Why it matters
The criticism relates to the state’s funding priorities for higher education, as performance funding accounts for a small portion of Indiana’s higher education budget. The debate affects the operational funding of public universities in the state.
The Indiana Commission for Higher Education operates under state law regarding funding priorities.
