Recommendations of CTC Formula Advisory

Committee

Community College Formula• Formula system put in place in 1974

• The primary mechanism for state funding of community colleges since that time.

• 3 components:‣ Annual cost study (RFOE)‣ Contact hour as the basic unit of

enrollment‣ Formula rates provide the

differentiated costs among instructional programs

• CC Formula = Base Year Contact Hours X Formula Rates (26 Instructional Categories)

Strategies for Messaging

49

People don’t want more information. They are up to their eyeballs in information.

They want faith—faith in you, your goals, your success, in the story you tell…

Once people make your story their story, you have tapped into a powerful force.
