States have traditionally provided funding for public colleges and universities based on a combination of the number of students enrolled and how much money they were allocated previously.
But, in the face of increasingly tight budgets and pressures to demonstrate their effectiveness to legislators, more and more states are tying at least some higher education funding to student outcomes.
As of 2015, 32 states have implemented a funding system that is based in part on students' performance in at least some of their colleges. In such states, a portion of state funding is based on metrics such as the number of completed courses or the number of graduates.
Research shows that performance-based funding (PBF) has not moved the needle on degree completions in any substantial way. Our research focuses on the unintended consequences of such funding policies – whether colleges have responded to funding incentives in ways that could hurt disadvantaged students.
We find evidence that these systems may be reducing access for low-income students at public colleges.

Why work when everything is free.
The deal is, universities, including SU can't give any guarantee whatsoever that grads will find jobs. Why? Because jobs are scarce at best, especially if one chooses to stay in the Salisbury area. Sadly this backlash prompts people to perhaps go back to trades but also promotes sloth and inertia. Why would someone put in four (some longer) to come out with no job prospects especially when skateboarding and drugs pretty much warrant the same results
Those mandatory 2 years of some sort of government service, along with remedial or enriched education during service would clear the air some; kids would have a better handle on life and the world around them. Clear statistics prove that more balanced and mature students do better, have far lower dropout rates, and have a clearer picture of where they want to go and want to do.
Sort them out from there with reasonable admissions testing.
This should have been done decades ago.
230, shame on you. just find a good Socialist/communist country that suits you and move there, and take your kids with you.
We will be better off without you in our mix.
I want my kids to learn what interests them in life and be able to find employment in that field with a paycheck that can pay off the student loans, but I guess that is out of your realm because all you are after is social whatever free shit.
NOT acceptable!
