Thriving Institution Designations for Higher Education

Summary

The bill lets the state Department of Higher Education name public colleges and technical schools as “thriving institutions” if they meet outcome standards for historically underserved students and workforce goals. Designations are advisory, carry no extra state funding, and are based only on data the state already collects. An advisory committee of educators, students, business and data experts will help set the standards and review designations.
