An Abstract of The Impact of Performance-Based Funding Models among Ohio`s Universities by David E. Chatfield Submitted to the Graduate Faculty as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree in Higher Education The University of Toledo December 2016 This research utilized a two-part, mixed-methods approach to analyze the impact of the Performance Based Funding: PBF funding model at Ohio`s thirteen bachelor’s-degree-granting public universities. The State of Ohio added four student success measures to the university funding formula, referred to as State Share of Instruction (SSI), beginning in 2010. This research study examined changes in the student success outcomes measures at all bachelor’s-degree-granting universities during a six-year period, beginning in 2009, to assess performance changes statewide. Interviews were conducted with university provosts to assess their perception of the impact the PBF model has had at their respective universities. The findings indicated that university performance, as measured by student outcomes, has improved in response to the PBF model. Further, universities have implemented operational changes designed to improve student success outcomes, including monitoring student progress and increasing student advising. The findings also revealed a pattern of (a) universities increasing their admission standards as a way to improve student outcomes and (b) declines in SSI funding during the six-year period between 2009 and 2014.
