FSU performance metric issue

"UNF should have been awarded an additional point to boost its score to a 36 out of 50, which is a tie with Florida State University under the performance funding ranking."


"Now that UNF has the same scores as FSU, either the BOG or the Legislature will have to decide whether that means both schools qualify for a share of performance funding dollars or that neither does."

"The revised scores resulted in a tie score between FIU and UCF, and UNF and FSU. A similar tie occurred between FIU and UCF for the top three last year.  Following our practice last year to address ties to the benefit, and not the detriment of the institutions, FIU will be included as part of the top three universities and UNF will be eligible for new funds under the Board’s model this year. This is, of course, subject to an appropriation by the legislature and the Governor to fund the Performance Funding Model for the upcoming fiscal year."
