2014-15 System Accountability Report
Board of Governors, State University System of Florida
The State University System (SUS) of Florida is committed to excellence in teaching, research and public service--the traditional mission of universities. This is achieved through a coordinated system of institutions, each having a distinct mission and each dedicated to meeting the needs of a diverse state and nation. This past year, the System has experienced myriad accomplishments and has identified a number of opportunities for improvement: (1) At the System level, five of the eight Performance-Based Funding (PBF) metrics, that are common to all universities, show improvement over last year's data; (2) The State University System of Florida six-year graduation rate is ranked 1st compared to the ten largest states (for public four-year universities); (3) The State University System of Florida produces more degrees in Business and Health Professions at both the bachelor's and graduate levels than any other discipline; (4) STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) degree production increased more than non-STEM degree production during the past four years for both baccalaureate degrees and graduate degrees; (5) The State University System of Florida is one of the most active public university engines for R&D in the country, expending $1.88 Billion dollars in FY2013-14; (6) The State University System of Florida ranked 2nd in the Nation in the total number of students who took at least one Distance Learning course; (7) Universities terminated 16 degree programs during the 2014-15 academic year. In addition, some other new programs that were identified on the University Work Plans as being considered for implementation in AY2014-15 have not been implemented as a result of a robust and ongoing review process by the Council of Academic Vice Presidents. Following the System Dashboard, and a Section on Performance Based Funding Metrics, the table of contents presents detailed statistical information provided in a tabular format on the following subjects: (1) Enrollment; (2) Degree Productivity and Program Efficiency; (3) Scholarship, Research and Innovation; (4) Community and Business Engagement; and (5) Fiscal Summary. The five year data tables are listed in the appendix of this report, however they are provided in a separate document. [To access the five year data tables in ERIC see ED572259.
