Washington Examiner Brendan Pringle Jan. 7, 2018 Excerpt: For too long, state funding in many cases has been based on how many full-time equivalent students are enrolled at the start of each academic term. This broken system incentivizes mass enrollment but provides no incentive for boosting completion rates or the number of workforce-ready graduates. The National Student Clearinghouse, an education non-profit, measured the six-year graduation rate for U.S. college students at less than 53 percent — an alarming figure considering the exorbitant cost of higher education. http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/missouri-adopts-performance-based-funding-for-higher-education/article/2645207
