Higher Education in Minnesota

The 2013 omnibus higher education bill required higher accountability to the Legislature by higher education institutions. The legislation expanded the reporting requirements for both the University of Minnesota and the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities, mandating reports on topics such as STEM education and medical school capacity. The legislation also tied a portion of funding to meeting performance goals by the University and by MnSCU. See a list of all the reports required by the 2013 bill through the Legislative Reference Library's mandated reports database.

One provision requires Minnesota's two higher education systems to report an array of statistics to the Legislature as part of their biennial budget proposals. These two new biennial reports will allow legislators, researchers, and the public to examine trends over five years--such as enrollment, tuition history, graduation rates, or revenues--or make comparisons between Minnesota's institutions and similar institutions elsewhere.

Contact a librarian at 651-296-8338, or refdesk@lrl.leg.mn, for copies of any of these reports.
