2        (4) The metrics shall focus on the fundamental goal of
3    increasing completion of college courses, certificates,
4    and degrees. Performance metrics shall recognize the
5    unique and broad mission of public community colleges
6    through consideration of additional factors, including,
7    but not limited to, enrollment, progress through key
8    academic milestones, transfer to a baccalaureate
9    institution, and degree completion.
10        (5) The metrics must be designed to maintain the
11    quality of degrees, certificates, courses, and programs.
12In devising performance metrics, the Board may be guided by
13the report of the Higher Education Finance Study Commission.
