AI Summary

  • Amends Kentucky's postsecondary education funding formula (KRS 164.092) to distribute 100% of allocable resources based on proportionate, unweighted metrics rather than weighted calculations that previously accounted for differences between research and comprehensive universities

  • Removes the "equilibrium" concept from the funding model, which previously aimed to achieve proportionate resource levels based on institutional productivity in student success and course completion outcomes

  • Prohibits any race-based metrics or targets in the public university and KCTCS funding formulas

  • Changes the postsecondary education working group review cycle from every three fiscal years to every odd calendar year beginning in 2027, with reports due by December 1 to the Governor and relevant legislative committees

  • Eliminates previously weighted calculations for credit hours by academic discipline, course level, and student type (doctoral, master's, nontraditional age) in favor of unweighted proportionate distribution methods
