The House on Wednesday rolled out its version of a highly anticipated performance-funding bill for state universities, a measure that carves out the University of Florida and Florida State University from a formula proposed by the university system’s Board of Governors.
The separate measurements for UF and FSU would draw on benchmarks in a law, passed by the Legislature last year, that led to those two schools being designated “pre-eminent universities.” The standards for UF and FSU would also essentially be worth twice as much as the standards faced by other universities.
