Summary

The Adequate and Equitable Public University Funding Act sets up a funding formula, administered by the Board of Higher Education, to distribute general operating expenses to eligible public universities. It establishes an accountability and transparency framework, an Accountability and Transparency Committee, and a Funding Formula Review Panel to monitor how funds affect affordability, enrollment, persistence, and outcomes. The goal is to reduce reliance on tuition and target resources toward underserved student groups.
