In intervening years, the council shall meet annually to monitor the progress toward the goals. When establishing goals and performance metrics, the council shall draw upon public input from any persons who may be concerned or knowledgeable in these areas. A majority of the members appointed to the council constitutes a quorum for the purposes of conducting business. Any action may be taken by a vote of the majority of the members present at a meeting.

    Section 8. The Board of Regents and the Board of Education shall each provide to the Council on Higher Education Policy Goals, Performance, and Accountability an annual accountability report.

            (1)    Improvements in on-time degree completions;

    The council shall determine the content of subsequent accountability reports.

    Section 9. To achieve the public purpose and goals established for postsecondary education in the state pursuant to this Act, the state funding for the higher education system may be calculated as follows:

            (1)    If the projected state general fund increase for the next fiscal year is equal to or greater than the cost of the inflationary increase established in this subdivision, the higher education system shall receive, through the normal budgeting process, an operating budget inflationary increase equal to the annual percentage change in the consumer price index for urban wage earners and clerical workers as computed by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the United States Department of Labor for the year before the year immediately preceding the year of adjustment or three percent, whichever is less. For the purpose of this section, the operating budget does not include any portion of the budget that contains funding for salaries and benefits for any employees provided by the Legislature through the General Appropriations Act;

            (2)    If the higher education system receives the inflationary increase in subdivision (1), and the cost of the increase is less than the projected state general fund increase, the higher education system may receive additional funding through the normal budgeting process for performance funding. Any sum appropriated from the general fund for the purpose of performance funding shall be provided to the Board of Regents. The Board of Regents shall then determine the allocation of funds to the institutions it governs that reflect institutional performance and system strategic investments. For fiscal years 2014 and 2015, funds appropriated for performance funding shall be awarded to the higher education institutions based on improvements in the following areas:

            (a)    One-half of the performance funding shall be based on the number of new graduates with special emphasis on those graduates with degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics or other critical need areas as determined by the Council on Higher Education Policy Goals, Performance, and Accountability established in section 6 of this Act; and

            (b)    One-half of the funding shall be based on the growth of expenditures for research;

                For fiscal year 2016 and in subsequent fiscal years, the performance funding shall be awarded to the Board of Regents based on criteria established by the Council of Higher Education Policy Goals, Performance and Accountability; and

            (3)    If the higher education system receives the inflationary increase in subdivision (1) and the performance funding in subdivision (2), and the cost of both of the increases is less than the projected state general fund increase, the higher education institutions may also receive, through the normal budgeting process, a mission expansion increase calculated pursuant to this subsection to reflect expanded student services and increases in enrollments and credit hour completions. If the inflationary increase calculated in subdivision (1), the performance funding provided pursuant to

subdivision (2), and the amount calculated in this subdivision for a mission expansion increase is greater than the projected state general fund increase, each higher education institution shall receive a pro rata share of the total amount calculated. The mission expansion increase shall be calculated as follows:

            (a)    Each institution of higher education shall receive a payment equal to one-half of the average state appropriation per higher education student for each full-time equivalent enrollment in the previous fiscal year that exceeded the total full-time equivalent enrollment in the year preceding the previous fiscal year; and

            (b)    Each institution of higher education shall also receive a payment equal to one-half of the average state appropriation per higher education student for each full-time equivalent of credit hour completions in the previous fiscal year that exceeded the total full-time equivalent of credit hour completions in the year preceding the previous fiscal year. The full-time equivalent of credit hour completions for which an institution is entitled to a payment pursuant to this section shall be calculated as follows:

            (i)    For the previous fiscal year, at each degree level, divide the total number of credit hours completed at that institution by the number of credit hours required to be a full-time equivalent student;

            (ii)    For the year prior to the previous fiscal year, at each degree level, divide the total number of credit hours completed at that institution by the number of credit hours required to be a full-time equivalent student;

            (iii)    If the product of subsection (i) is greater than the product of subsection (ii), calculate the difference between the two at each degree level; and

            (iv)    Add together the results for each degree level;

                In addition to the mission expansion funding calculated pursuant to this subsection, the Legislature may also provide additional funding to institutions of higher education for the expansion of program mission."

JOINT SESSION

    Pursuant to the report of the Joint-Select Committee, as found on page 19 of the Senate Journal, the Senate and the House of Representatives met in informal joint session in the House Chamber for the purpose of having a memorial service for deceased former members and reading of the following Joint Memorial Resolution:

    WHEREAS, the Great Ruler of the Universe has ordered a final adjournment in the lives of eight former members of the South Dakota Legislature, namely: the Honorable James E. "Jim" Abdnor; the Honorable Leonard E. Andera; the Honorable Charles E. "Eddie" Clay; the Honorable Bertrum E. Ellingson; the Honorable Frank E. "Rudy" Henderson; the Honorable Maurice J. "Maury" LaRue; the Honorable George H. Shanard; and the Honorable Burdette C. Solum; and

    WHEREAS, in the lives of all these eminent public servants there was noted a profound urgency in an unselfish manner, with trials and vicissitudes often far outweighing honors, but with a consciousness that here in a land of freedom the dignity of the individual is supreme, that justice must be dispensed, and that only by eternal vigilance and unrelenting effort can self-government of a people be preserved; and
                                
    WHEREAS, it is fitting that we humbly honor the memory of those who have thus contributed to the orderly process of government under the Constitution:

    NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Senate and the House of Representatives of the Eighty-eighth Session of the Legislature of the State of South Dakota duly convened in recess session in recognition of the useful lives and unfailing devotion to the interests of the State of South Dakota, as well as the rectitude of thought and action and fidelity to the highest principles of American citizenship by these honorable people, that the Senate and the House of Representatives do now pause in their labors out of respect for the memory of their

late fellow associates in the functions of government, and note that in their passing, the state they have served so well has suffered a distinct loss, and though their labors have ceased and they have been laid to rest, the people of this great state have benefited greatly from the services rendered by them and they have left upon the sands of time an inspiring record of devotion to their fellow citizens under the guiding hand of Almighty God; and

    BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that this Resolution be printed in the journals of the Senate and the House of Representatives of the Eighty-eighth Session of the Legislature of the State of South Dakota, now assembled this 17th day of January, 2013, at Pierre, South Dakota.
