available to support the phase-in allocation by proportionally
reducing formula earnings from each Center not receiving phase-in
funding.
Sec. 363.190. STATE SHARE OF INSTRUCTION FORMULAS
The Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall establish
procedures to allocate the foregoing appropriation item 235501,

completions weighted by the following:
(i) Campus-specific course completion indexes, where the
indexes are calculated based upon the number of at-risk students
enrolled during the 2010-2012 academic years; and
(ii) A statewide average at-risk course completion weight
determined for each subsidy model. The statewide average at-risk
course completion weight shall be determined by calculating the
difference between the percentage of traditional students who
complete a course and the percentage of at-risk students who
complete the same course.
(4) In calculating the core subsidy entitlements for Medical
II models only, students repeating terms may be no more than five
per cent of current year enrollment.

(3) Of the foregoing appropriation item 235501, State Share
of Instruction, 25 per cent of the fiscal year 2014 appropriation
and 50 per cent of the fiscal year 2015 appropriation for
state-supported community colleges, state community colleges, and
technical colleges shall be reserved for course completion FTEs as
aggregated by the subsidy models defined in division (B) of this
section.
The course completion funding shall be allocated to colleges
in proportion to each campuses' share of the total sector's course
completions, weighted by the instructional cost of the subsidy
models.
To calculate the subsidy entitlements for course completions
at community colleges, state community colleges, and technical
colleges, the Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall use the
following calculations:
(a) In calculating each campus's count of FTE course
completions, the Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall use the
a three-year average for course completions for the three-year
period ending in the prior year.
(b) The subsidy eligible enrollments by model shall equal
only those FTE students who successfully complete the course as
defined and reported through the Higher Education Information
(HEI) system course enrollment file.
(c) For fiscal year 2015, students with successful course
completions, identified in division (D)(3) of this section, that
are or have been Pell eligible at any time while enrolled at a
state institution of higher education, are Native American,
African American, or Hispanic, or are 25 years of age or older
when they first enroll at a state institution of higher education,
shall be defined as access students and shall have their eligible
course completions weighted by a statewide access weight. The
weight given to any student that meets any access factor shall be
15 per cent for all course completions.
(d) The model costs as used in the calculation shall be
augmented by the model weights for science, technology,
engineering, mathematics, and medicine models as established in
division (C) of this section.
(3)(4) Of the foregoing appropriation item 235501, State
Share of Instruction, 25 per cent of the fiscal year 2015
appropriation for state-supported community colleges, state
community colleges, and technical colleges shall be reserved for
completion milestones as identified in formal communication from
community college presidents to the Chancellor of the Board of
Regents dated December 2013.
Completion milestones shall include associate degrees,
certificates over 30 credit hours approved by the Board of
Regents, and students transferring to any four-year institution
with at least 12 credit hours earned at that community college,
state community college, or technical college.
The completion milestone funding shall be allocated to
colleges in proportion to each institution's share of the sector's
total completion milestones, weighted by the instructional cost of
the associate degree, certificate, or transfer models. Costs for
certificates over 30 hours shall be weighted one-half of the
associate degree model costs and transfers with at least 12 credit
hours shall be weighted one-fourth of the average cost for all
associate degree model costs.
To calculate the subsidy entitlements for completions at
community colleges, state community colleges, and technical
colleges, the Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall use the
following calculations:
(a) In calculating each campus's count of completions, the
Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall use a three-year average
for completion metrics.
(b) The subsidy eligible completions by model shall equal
only those students who successfully complete an associate degree,
certificate over 30 credit hours, or transfer to any four-year
institution with at least 12 credit hours as defined and reported
in the Higher Education Information (HEI) system.
(c) Those students with successful completions for associate
degrees, certificates over 30 credit hours, or transfer to any
four-year institution with at least 12 credit hours, identified in
division (D)(3) of this section, that are or have been Pell
eligible at any time while enrolled at a state institution of
higher education, are Native American, African American, or
Hispanic, or are 25 years of age or older when they first enroll
at a state institution of higher education, shall be defined as
access students and shall have their eligible completions weighted
by a statewide access weight. The weight shall be 25 per cent for
students with one access factor, 66 per cent for students with two
access factors, and 150 per cent for students with three access
factors.
(d) For those students who complete more than one completion
metric, funding for each additional associate degree or
certificate over 30 credit hours approved by the Board of Regents
shall be funded at 50 per cent of the model costs as defined in
division (D)(4) of this section.
(5) Of the foregoing appropriation item 235501, State Share
of Instruction, up to 11.78 per cent of the appropriation for
universities, as established in division (A)(2) of the section of
this act Am. Sub. H.B. 59 of the 130th General Assembly entitled
"STATE SHARE OF INSTRUCTION FOR FISCAL YEARS 2014 and 2015," in
each fiscal year shall be reserved for support of doctoral
programs to implement the funding recommendations made by
representatives of the universities. The amount so reserved shall
be referred to as the doctoral set-aside.
The doctoral set-aside shall be allocated to universities as
follows:
(a) 62.50 Sixty-two and one-half per cent of the doctoral
set-aside in fiscal year 2014 and 55 per cent of the doctoral
set-aside in fiscal year 2015 shall be allocated to universities
in proportion to their share of the statewide total of each state
institution's three-year average Doctoral I equivalent FTEs as
calculated on an institutional basis using historical FTEs for the
period fiscal year 1994 through fiscal year 1998 with annualized
FTEs for fiscal years 1994 through 1997 and all-term FTEs for
fiscal year 1998 as adjusted to reflect the effects of doctoral
review and subsequent changes in Doctoral I equivalent
enrollments. For the purposes of this calculation, Doctoral I
equivalent FTEs shall equal the sum of Doctoral I FTEs plus 1.5
times the sum of Doctoral II FTEs.
(b) 25 Twenty-five per cent of the doctoral set-aside in
fiscal year 2014 and 30 per cent of the doctoral set-aside in
fiscal year 2015 shall be allocated to universities in proportion
to each campus's share of the total statewide doctoral degrees,
weighted by the cost of the doctoral discipline. In calculating
each campus's doctoral degrees the Chancellor of the Board of
Regents shall use the three-year average doctoral degrees awarded
for the three-year period ending in the prior year.
(c) 12.5 Twelve and one-half per cent of the doctoral
set-aside in fiscal year 2014 and 15 per cent of the doctoral
set-aside in fiscal year 2015 shall be allocated to universities
in proportion to their share of research grant activity, using a
data collection method that is reviewed and approved by the
presidents of Ohio's doctoral degree granting universities. In the
event that the data collection method is not available, funding
for this component shall be allocated to universities in
proportion to their share of research grant activity published by
the National Science Foundation. Grant awards from the Department
of Health and Human Services shall be weighted at 50 per cent.
(4)(6) Of the foregoing appropriation item 235501, State
Share of Instruction, 6.41 per cent of the appropriation for
universities, as established in division (A)(2) of the section of
this act Am. Sub. H.B. 59 of the 130th General Assembly entitled
"STATE SHARE OF INSTRUCTION FOR FISCAL YEARS 2014 AND 2015," in
each fiscal year shall be reserved for support of Medical II FTEs.
The amount so reserved shall be referred to as the medical II
set-aside.
The medical II set-aside shall be allocated to universities
in proportion to their share of the statewide total of each state
institution's three-year average Medical II FTEs as calculated in
division (A) of this section, weighted by model cost.
(5)(7) Of the foregoing appropriation item 235501, State
Share of Instruction, 1.48 per cent of the appropriation for
universities, as established in division (A)(2) of the section of
this act Am. Sub. H.B. 59 of the 130th General Assembly entitled
"STATE SHARE OF INSTRUCTION FOR FISCAL YEARS 2014 AND 2015," in
each fiscal year shall be reserved for support of Medical I FTEs.
The amount so reserved shall be referred to as the medical I
set-aside.
The medical I set-aside shall be allocated to universities in
proportion to their share of the statewide total of each state
institution's three-year average Medical I FTEs as calculated in
division (A) of this section.
(6)(8) Of the foregoing appropriation item 235501, State
Share of Instruction, 50 per cent of the appropriation in each
fiscal year for universities, net any earmarked funding for
university regional campuses as detailed in division (B)(1) of the
section of
this act Am. Sub. H.B. 59 of the 130th General
Assembly entitled "STATE SHARE OF INSTRUCTION FOR FISCAL YEARS
2014 AND 2015," shall be reserved for support of associate,
baccalaureate, master's, and professional level degree attainment.
The degree attainment funding shall be allocated to
universities in proportion to each campus's share of the total
statewide degrees granted, weighted by the cost of the degree
programs. The degree cost calculations shall include the model
cost weights for the science, technology, engineering,
mathematics, and medicine models as established in division (C) of
this section.
For degrees including credits earned at multiple
institutions, in fiscal year 2015, degree attainment funding shall
be allocated to universities and branch campuses in proportion to
each campus's share of the cost of earned credits for the degree.
Each institution shall receive its prorated share of degree
funding for credits earned at that institution. Cost of credits
not earned at a university main or regional campus shall be
credited to the degree-granting institution for each first degree
earned at each level, but shall not be eligible for at-risk
weights.
In calculating the subsidy entitlements for degree attainment
at university main and regional campuses, the Chancellor of the
Board of Regents shall use the following count of degrees and
degree costs:
(a) The subsidy eligible undergraduate degrees shall be
defined as follows:
(i) The subsidy eligible degrees conferred to students
identified as residents of the state of Ohio in any term of their
studies, as reported through the Higher Education Information
(HEI) system student enrollment file, shall be weighted by a
factor of 1.
(ii) The subsidy eligible degrees conferred to students
identified as out-of-state residents during all terms of their
studies, as reported through the Higher Education Information
(HEI) system student enrollment file, who remain in the state of
Ohio at least one year after graduation, as calculated based on
the three-year average in-state residency rate for out-of-state
students at each institution, shall be weighted by a factor of 50
per cent. For fiscal year 2014, subsidy eligible degrees conferred
to all out-of-state students shall be weighted by a factor of 25
per cent.
(b) In fiscal year 2014, for those associate degrees awarded
by a state-supported university, the subsidy eligible degrees
granted are defined as only those earned by students attending a
university that received funding under GRF appropriation item
235418, Access Challenge, in fiscal year 2009. In fiscal year
2015, subsidy eligible associate degrees are defined as those
earned by students attending any state-supported university main
or regional campus.
(c) In calculating each campus's count of degrees, the
Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall use the three-year
average associate, baccalaureate, master's, and professional
degrees awarded for the three-year period ending in the prior
year. In fiscal year 2014, university regional campuses are not
eligible for degree completion funding. In fiscal year 2015, all
university campuses are eligible for degree completion funding.
(d) For fiscal year 2014, eligible associate degrees defined
in division (D)(6)(b) of this section and all bachelor's degrees
earned by a student that either had an expected family
contribution less than 2190, was determined to have been in need
of remedial education, is Native American, African American, or
Hispanic, or is at least age 26 at the time of graduation, shall
be defined as degrees earned by an at-risk student and shall be
weighted by the following:
(i) A campus-specific at-risk index, where the index is
calculated based on the proportion of at-risk students enrolled
during a four-year cohort beginning in fiscal year 2001, 2002,
2003, or 2004; and
(ii) A statewide average at-risk degree completion weight
determined by calculating the difference between the percentage of
non-at-risk students who earned a degree and the percentage of
at-risk students who earned a degree in eight years or less.
(e) For fiscal year 2015, eligible associate degrees defined
in division (D)(6)(b)(8) of this section and all bachelor's
degrees earned by a student that either had an expected family
contribution less than 2190, was determined to be in need of
remedial education, is Native American, African American, or
Hispanic, or is at least 26 years of defined as at-risk based on
academic preparedness, age at the time of graduation, minority
status, or financial status, shall be defined as degrees earned by
an at-risk student and shall be weighted by the following:
A student-specific degree completion weight, where the weight
is calculated based on the at risk factors of the individual
student, determined by calculating the difference between the
percentage of students with each risk factor who earned a degree
and the percentage of non-at-risk students who earned a degree.
(7)(9) State share of instruction base formula earnings shall
be determined as follows:
(a) The instructional costs shall be determined by
multiplying the amounts listed above in divisions (B) and (C) of
this section by the average subsidy-eligible FTEs for the
three-year period ending in the prior year for all models except
Doctoral I and Doctoral II.
(b) The Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall compute a
uniform state share of instructional costs for each sector.
(i) For the state-supported community colleges, state
community colleges, and technical colleges, in fiscal year 2014
the Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall compute the uniform
state share of instructional costs for enrollment by dividing the
sector level appropriation total as determined by the Chancellor
in division (A)(1) of the section of this act Am. Sub. H.B. 59 of
the 130th General Assembly entitled "STATE SHARE OF INSTRUCTION
FOR FISCAL YEARS 2014 AND 2015," and adjusted pursuant to
divisions (B) and (C) of that section, less the student college
success allocation as described in division (D)(1) of this section
and less the course completion allocation as detailed in division
(D)(2) of this section, by the sum of all eligible campuses'
instructional costs as calculated in division (D)(7)(b) of this
section.
(ii) For the state-supported university regional campuses, in
fiscal year 2014 the Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall
compute the uniform state share of instructional costs by dividing
the sector level appropriation, as determined by the Chancellor in
division (A)(2) of the section of this act Am. Sub. H.B. 59 of the
130th General Assembly entitled "STATE SHARE OF INSTRUCTION FOR
FISCAL YEARS 2014 AND 2015," and adjusted pursuant to division (B)
of that section by the sum of all campuses' instructional costs as
calculated in division (D)(7)(b) of this section.
(iii) For the state-supported university main campuses, in
fiscal year 2014 the Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall
compute the uniform state share of instructional costs by dividing
the sector level appropriation, as determined by the Chancellor in
division (A)(3) of the section of this act Am. Sub. H.B. 59 of the
130th General Assembly entitled "STATE SHARE OF INSTRUCTION FOR
FISCAL YEARS 2014 AND 2015," and adjusted pursuant to division (B)
of that section, less the degree attainment funding as calculated
in divisions (D)(3) to (6) of this section, less the doctoral
set-aside, less the medical I set-aside, and less the medical II
set-aside, by the sum of all campuses' instructional costs as
calculated in division (D)(7)(b) of this section.
(iv) For the state university regional and main campuses, in
fiscal year 2015 the Chancellor of the Board of Regents shall
compute the uniform state share of instructional costs by dividing
the university appropriation, as determined by the Chancellor in
division (A)(3) of the section of this act Am. Sub. H.B. 59 of the
130th General Assembly entitled "STATE SHARE OF INSTRUCTION FOR
FISCAL YEARS 2014 AND 2015," and adjusted pursuant to division (B)
of that section, less the degree attainment funding as calculated
in divisions (D)(3) to (6) of this section, less the doctoral
set-aside, less the medical I set-aside, and less the medical II
set-aside, by the sum of all campuses' instructional costs as
calculated in division (D)(7)(b) of this section.
(c) The formula entitlement shall be determined by
multiplying the uniform state share of instructional costs
calculated in division (D)(7)(c) of this section by the
instructional cost determined in division (D)(7)(b) of this
section.
(8)(10) In addition to the student success allocation,
doctoral set-aside, medical I set-aside, medical II set-aside, and
the degree attainment allocation determined in divisions (D)(1) to
(6) of this section and the formula entitlement determined in
division (D)(7) of this section, an allocation based on
facility-based plant operations and maintenance (POM) subsidy
shall be made. For each eligible university main campus, the
amount of the POM allocation in each fiscal year shall be
distributed based on what each campus received in the fiscal year
2009 POM allocation.
Any POM allocations required by this division shall be funded
by proportionately reducing formula entitlement earnings,
including the POM allocations, for all campuses in that sector.
(9)(11) STABILITY IN STATE SHARE OF INSTRUCTION FUNDING FOR
COMMUNITY, STATE COMMUNITY, AND TECHNICAL COLLEGES
In addition to and after the adjustments noted above, in
fiscal year 2014, no community college, state community college,
or technical college shall receive a state share of instruction
allocation that is less than 97 per cent of the prior year's state
share of instruction earnings. Funds shall be made available to
support this allocation by proportionately reducing formula
entitlement earnings from those campuses, within the community,
state community, and technical college sector, that are not
receiving stability funding.
(10)(12) CAPITAL COMPONENT DEDUCTION
After all other adjustments have been made, state share of
instruction earnings shall be reduced for each campus by the
amount, if any, by which debt service charged in Am. H.B. 748 of
the 121st General Assembly, Am. Sub. H.B. 850 of the 122nd General
Assembly, Am. Sub. H.B. 640 of the 123rd General Assembly, H.B.
675 of the 124th General Assembly, Am. Sub. H.B. 16 of the 126th
General Assembly, Am. Sub. H.B. 699 of the 126th General Assembly,
Am. Sub. H.B. 496 of the 127th General Assembly, and Am. Sub. H.B.
562 of the 127th General Assembly for that campus exceeds that
campus's capital component earnings. The sum of the amounts
deducted shall be transferred to appropriation item 235552,
Capital Component, in each fiscal year.
(E) EXCEPTIONAL CIRCUMSTANCES
Adjustments may be made to the state share of instruction
payments and other subsidies distributed by the Chancellor of the
Board of Regents to state colleges and universities for
exceptional circumstances. No adjustments for exceptional
circumstances may be made without the recommendation of the
Chancellor and the approval of the Controlling Board.
(F) APPROPRIATION REDUCTIONS TO THE STATE SHARE OF
INSTRUCTION
The standard provisions of the state share of instruction
calculation as described in the preceding sections of temporary
law shall apply to any reductions made to appropriation item
235501, State Share of Instruction, before the Chancellor of the
Board of Regents has formally approved the final allocation of the
state share of instruction funds for any fiscal year.
Any reductions made to appropriation item 235501, State Share
of Instruction, after the Chancellor of the Board of Regents has
formally approved the final allocation of the state share of
instruction funds for any fiscal year, shall be uniformly applied
to each campus in proportion to its share of the final allocation.
(G) DISTRIBUTION OF STATE SHARE OF INSTRUCTION
The state share of instruction payments to the institutions
shall be in substantially equal monthly amounts during the fiscal
year, unless otherwise determined by the Director of Budget and
Management pursuant to section 126.09 of the Revised Code.
Payments during the first six months of the fiscal year shall be
based upon the state share of instruction appropriation estimates
made for the various institutions of higher education according to
the Chancellor of the Board of Regents enrollment, completion, and
performance estimates. Payments during the last six months of the
fiscal year shall be distributed after approval of the Controlling
Board upon the request of the Chancellor.
(H) STUDIES TO DETERMINE IMPROVEMENTS TO THE FISCAL YEAR 2015
STATE SHARE OF INSTRUCTION FORMULAS
(1) STUDY ON IDENTIFYING "AT-RISK" STUDENTS FOR COMMUNITY
COLLEGES
Community college presidents, or their designees, in
consultation with the Chancellor of the Board of Regents, shall
study the most appropriate formula weights for students who come
from "at-risk" populations and recommend how they may be used to
determine allocations of appropriations to community colleges from
appropriation item 235501, State Share of Instruction, in fiscal
year 2015. The study shall identify the socio-economic,
demographic, academic, personal, and other factors that identify a
student as being "at-risk" of academic failure, and recommend how
these factors may be used to determine allocations of the State
Share of Instruction for community colleges in fiscal year 2015.
The study shall be completed by December 31, 2013. Notwithstanding
any provision of law to the contrary, community college
presidents, or their designees, in consultation with the
Chancellor of the Board of Regents, shall use the results of the
study to recommend changes in the determination of the
distribution of the community college allocations beginning in
fiscal year 2015 and shall report any such formula change
recommendations to the Governor, the General Assembly, and the
Office of Budget and Management not later than February 15, 2014.
(2) STUDY ON THE USE OF SUCCESS POINTS AND COMPLETION
MEASURES FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGES
Community college presidents, or their designees, in
consultation with the Chancellor of the Board of Regents, shall
study the most appropriate formula weights for the "success
points" and completion performance measures used in the allocation
of appropriations to community colleges from appropriation item
235501, State Share of Instruction, in fiscal year 2015. The study
shall research the most appropriate success points and completion
measures that occur during the academic career of community
college students and recommend revisions to the current State
Share of Instruction model to fund achievement of the success
points beginning in fiscal year 2015. In addition, community
college presidents, or their designees, in consultation with the
Chancellor of the Board of Regents, shall determine how the
community college's fiscal year 2015 share of State Share of
Instruction funding shall be distributed among its success points,
completion measures and course completion funding, or other
performance and access measures. The study shall be completed by
December 31, 2013. Notwithstanding any provision of law to the
contrary, community college presidents, or their designees, in
consultation with the Chancellor of the Board of Regents, shall
use the results of the study to recommend changes in the
determination of the distribution of the community college
allocations beginning in fiscal year 2015 and shall report any
such formula change recommendations to the Governor, the General
Assembly, and the Office of Budget and Management not later than
February 15, 2014.

(C) Of the foregoing appropriation item 235501, State Share
of Instruction, up to $5,474,083 in fiscal year 2014 shall be used
by the Chancellor to provide supplemental subsidy payments to each
university main and regional campus receiving a State Share of
Instruction allocation, as determined according to the section of
this act Am. Sub. H.B. 59 of the 130th General Assembly entitled
"STATE SHARE OF INSTRUCTION FORMULAS" and divisions (A) and (B) of
this section, in fiscal year 2014 that is less than 96 per cent of
that campus's State Share of Instruction allocation in fiscal year

2013 allocation. If the Chancellor determines that the amounts
earmarked for these supplemental subsidies are inadequate to
provide payments to ensure that each eligible campus receives a
State Share of Instruction allocation in fiscal year 2014 that is
equal to 96 per cent of that campus's fiscal year 2013 allocation,
the Chancellor shall proportionally reduce payment amounts. If the
Chancellor determines that the amount earmarked for these
supplemental subsidies is greater than what is needed to ensure
that no main or regional campus receives a State Share of
Instruction allocation in fiscal year 2014 that is less than 96
per cent of the fiscal year 2013 allocation, the Chancellor shall
proportionally allocate the remainder of the earmark between the

of this section.
(D) Of the foregoing appropriation item 235501, State Share
of Instruction, up to $3,100,000 in fiscal year 2015 shall be used
by the Chancellor to provide supplemental subsidy payments to each
state-supported community college, state community college, and
technical college receiving a State Share of Instruction
allocation, as determined according to the section of this act
entitled "STATE SHARE OF INSTRUCTION FORMULAS" and division (A) of
this section, in fiscal year 2015 that is less than 96 per cent of
that campus's State Share of Instruction allocation in fiscal year
2014. Supplemental subsidy payment amounts shall not exceed the
amount needed to ensure that no state-supported community college,
state community college, or technical college receives a State
Share of Instruction allocation in fiscal year 2015 that is less
than 96 per cent of that campus's fiscal year 2014 allocation. If
the Chancellor determines that the amounts earmarked for these
supplemental subsidies are inadequate to provide payments to
ensure that each eligible campus receives a State Share of
Instruction allocation in fiscal year 2015 that is equal to 96 per
cent of that campus's fiscal year 2014 allocation, the Chancellor
shall proportionally reduce payment amounts. If the Chancellor
determines that the amount earmarked for these supplemental
subsidies is greater than what is needed to ensure that no
state-supported community college, state community college, or
technical college receives a State Share of Instruction allocation
in fiscal year 2015 that is less than 96 per cent of the fiscal
year 2014 allocation, the Chancellor shall proportionally allocate
the remainder of the earmark among each state-supported community
college, state community college, and technical college.
(E) The POM adjustment in division (D)(7) of the section of
this act Am. Sub. H.B. 59 of the 130th General Assembly entitled
"STATE SHARE OF INSTRUCTION FORMULAS" and the Access Challenge
earmark in division (B) of this section shall expire on June 30,
2015.
(E)(F) The state share of instruction payments to the
institutions shall be in substantially equal monthly amounts
during the fiscal year, unless otherwise determined by the
Director of Budget and Management pursuant to section 126.09 of

fiscal year shall be distributed after approval of the Controlling
Board upon the request of the Chancellor of the Board of Regents.
Section 4. That existing Sections 363.120, 363.190, and
363.200 of Am. Sub. H.B. 59 of the 130th General Assembly are
hereby repealed.
Section 5. Not later than December 31, 2014, the Chancellor
of the Ohio Board of Regents shall submit recommendations on
future efforts to promote postsecondary globalization in the state
to the Governor, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and
the President of the Senate.
In developing the recommendations required by this section,
the Chancellor shall study current international postsecondary
student recruitment practices and enrollment in the state and the
retention of international postsecondary students in the state
upon graduation. The Chancellor also shall consult with
institutions of higher education, state agencies, community
organizations, and members of the business community.
The Chancellor shall include recommendations regarding future
efforts to promote the state's postsecondary globalization which
consider implications of, and opportunities for, encouraging
international students to remain in the state after graduation.
The Chancellor shall place a particular emphasis on the economic
impact and effects on workforce development and shall identify
provisions of state and federal law that could potentially limit
the implementation of the recommendations.
Section 6. (A) There is hereby created the Higher Education
