Accountability plans

The Accountability Plans are completed each year in order to facilitate accountability and strategic planning by enabling comparisons between past goals and actual data to better assess performance. This helps foster greater coordination between institutional administrators, University Boards of Trustees and the Board of Governors. Once an Accountability Plan is approved by each institution’s respective Boards of Trustees, the Board of Governors will review and consider the plan for potential acceptance.

title	Performance Base Funding

The Performance Based Funding (PBF) Model includes 10 metrics that evaluate the institutions on a range of issues. The first eight metrics are the same for each institution, and the last two are institution-specific (one is chosen by the Board of Governors and one by each university Board of Trustees).
