8 | college metrics must be adopted by the Illinois Community | ||||||
9 | College Board by rule. These metrics must be developed and | ||||||
10 | promulgated in accordance with the following principles: | ||||||
11 | (1) The metrics must be developed in consultation with | ||||||
12 | public institutions of higher education, as well as other | ||||||
13 | State educational agencies and other higher education | ||||||
14 | organizations, associations, interests, and stakeholders | ||||||
15 | as deemed appropriate by the Board. | ||||||
16 | (2) The metrics shall include provisions for | ||||||
17 | recognizing the demands on and rewarding the performance | ||||||
18 | of institutions in advancing the success of students who | ||||||
19 | are academically or financially at risk, including | ||||||
20 | first-generation students, low-income students, and | ||||||
21 | students traditionally underrepresented in higher | ||||||
22 | education, as specified in Section 9.16 of this Act. | ||||||
23 | (3) The metrics shall recognize and account for the | ||||||
24 | differentiated missions of institutions and sectors of | ||||||
25 | higher education. | ||||||
26 | (4) The metrics shall focus on the fundamental goal of |
| |||||||
| |||||||
1 | increasing completion of college courses, certificates, | ||||||
2 | and degrees. Performance metrics shall recognize the | ||||||
3 | unique and broad mission of public community colleges | ||||||
4 | through consideration of additional factors including, but | ||||||
5 | not limited to, enrollment, progress through key academic | ||||||
6 | milestones, transfer to a baccalaureate institution, and | ||||||
7 | degree completion. | ||||||
8 | (5) The metrics must be designed to maintain the | ||||||
9 | quality of degrees, certificates, courses, and programs. | ||||||
10 | In devising performance metrics, the Board may be guided by | ||||||
11 | the report of the Higher Education Finance Study Commission. | ||||||
12 | Each State university must submit its plan for capital | ||||||
13 | improvements of non-instructional facilities to the Board for | ||||||
14 | approval before final commitments are made if the total cost | ||||||
15 | of the project as approved by the institution's board of | ||||||
16 | control is in excess of $2 million. Non-instructional uses | ||||||
17 | shall include but not be limited to dormitories, union | ||||||

21 | the strategic plan for higher education and with instructional | ||||||
22 | buildings that are provided for therein. If the project is | ||||||
23 | found by a majority of the Board not to be consistent, such | ||||||
24 | capital improvement shall not be constructed. | ||||||
