Amends TCA Title 49, Chapter 7.

This bill requires each governing board of a state institution of higher education to perform a cost-benefit analysis for each institution under the governing board's authority and annually report the results of the analysis to the education committee of the senate and the education committee of the house of representatives. The analysis must:<br /> <br /> (1) Show the costs of benefits to the institution of enrolling, retaining, and graduating students from each of the programs offered by the institution compared to the costs and benefits to the students of receiving a degree, diploma, or certificate from the institution; and<br /> (2) Assess the number of students graduating from the institution each year who are able to secure employment in the area of the student's degree, diploma, or certificate and the average length of time that the institution's students were unemployed or underemployed after graduation.<br /> <br />
