In 2022, New Jersey Representatives Joe Danielsen, Mila Jasey, and Daniel Benson, along with Senator Angela McKnight, introduced Bill A376. The legislation directed the state’s secretary of higher education “to establish performance-based funding plans for public institutions of higher education.” ACTA wrote a letter of support for the legislators’ efforts to increase accountability measures over state funding for higher education. A majority of states now use some kind of performance-based funding as a way to increase positive student outcomes, and we applaud New Jersey for exploring this possibility.
