Title: The Florida Community College Accountability Plan: An Analysis of Institutional Characteristics and Success at Meeting State Defined Performance Measures.
Abstract: The Florida Community College Accountability Plan: An Analysis of Institutional Characteristics and Success at Meeting State Defined Performance Measures State-based performance indicators for postsecondary education are rapidly becoming the hallmark of the 1990's. A number of states now have some form of performance indicator legislation enacted and with each legislative session the number increases. This paper studies the reliability and validity of accountability measures and performance indicators established at the state-level for a system of community colleges and reviews the appropriateness of the measures for systemic decision making and public reporting. This paper serves as a challenge to the institutional research community to take an active role in the study of measures defined as instruments of public higher education policy.
