"Florida State University, which placed sixth in the rankings, will receive $35.6 million in performance-based funding, in addition to its $43.4 million investment, for a total of $79 million.
That’s in addition to the additional $10 million, the committee approved Tuesday to FSU as a preeminent institution."
"In its release, FSU said the money will be used to hire top professors in the STEM fields, along with student support services. It also will be invested in the university’s Center for Academic Retention and Enhancement program, which supports first-generation college students."

Florida's public universities receive funding each year based on how they perform in 10 categories. The performance-based funding model uses
a 100-point scoring system. The Florida Board of Governors will consider how much funding the universities should get during meetings
scheduled for this week.
Proposed Performance-Based Funding for Florida's Public Universities
| Rank | University | Points/100 |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | FAU | 84 |
| 1 | UCF | 84 |
| 3 | UF | 82 |
| 4 | USF | 79 |
| 5 | FIU | 76 |
| 6 | FSU | 68 |
| 7 | FGCU | 67 |
| 8 | FAMU | 65 |
| 9 | NCF | 59 |
| 10 | UWF | 57 |
| 11 | UNF | 56 |
FSU really needs to focus heavily on the metrics in this. We have always been mid-pack to bottom-half in the ~3 years they've run these numbers. And sadly the Board of Trustees rarely mentions it during their meetings. There is no tangible plan to increase our score...because there is no admittance on the part of our BoT that a problem even exists.
ReplyDeleteThat said, despite never finishing 2nd in the rankings, we've always received the 2nd most funding (thanks entirely due to FSU and UF having inherent funding advantages). But that doesn't change the core issue.
Agreed. I think you will see FSU fall behind in these payments due to FSU being poorly aligned in STEM and research compared to another 3-5 other schools in the state.
