NebraskaNebraska colleges would lose scholarship funds for missed data agreements
The proposal would tie Nebraska public colleges' Career Scholarship funding to compliance with agreements to submit data to a statewide workforce and education system.
What it does
Public college campuses and community college areas that fail to meet workforce data reporting agreements would not receive Career Scholarship funds.
Argument forMeeting these agreements could give the state information about scholarship students and their education and work outcomes.
Argument againstCampuses could lose scholarship funding if they fail to meet data reporting agreements, which may affect students who rely on those awards.
More detail
Scholarship boards and the commission would not allocate funds to a campus or community college area that fails to meet its data reporting agreement. This applies to state college campuses, University of Nebraska campuses, and community college areas receiving funds under the Nebraska Career Scholarship Act. The agreement must require submitting data to the Nebraska Statewide Workforce and Education Reporting System. The bill gives no start date for this funding rule.
