A commission tasked by the Texas Legislature to recommend new ways to fund community colleges is suggesting the state fund schools based on how successful students are at completing programs in high-demand fields and transferring to universities to continue their education. Austin Community College students are shown in this 2019 photo.
“These draft recommendations can be transformational for Texas community colleges and, ultimately, for helping Texans achieve their full potential while uplifting the entire state,” said Ray Martinez III, president of the Texas Association of Community Colleges. At the same time, enrollment across community colleges in Texas has declined over the past decade — made worse by the pandemic — even as workforce demands are increasing and changing.

“You can add students and improve outcomes and lose money in current funding formulas because it all depends on what you’re doing relative to every other college in the state,” Keller said.
