Report: SUNY Chancellor to Propose Performance-Based Funding

The chancellor of the State University of New York will propose in a speech today making campuses in the massive state system compete for some state funds to spur changes, the Associated Press reported. Details were skimpy on the performance-based funding proposal, which an unidentified SUNY official discussed with the AP in advance of Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher's first state of the university speech today, but the plan would begin to shift SUNY away from its traditional method of allocating state funds based on campuses' enrollment alone.
