giving initial approval to part of a new system on how the state’s public universities and colleges are funded.The board gave first approval Monday to metrics that will create a

This year, state lawmakers adopted Governor Asa Hutchinson’s plan to link state funding for colleges and universities to student success, not enrollment.
According to the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette the Higher Education Department will recommend in July how to distribute funding for the 2018-2019 academic year
based on the new methods.
