West Virginia Code §18B-1B-4(d)
The Higher Education Policy Commission shall examine the
question of general revenue appropriations to individual
higher education institutions per student, and per credit hour,
and by other relevant measures at all higher education
institutions, including four-year baccalaureate institutions and
the community and technical colleges, and on or before
January 1, 2018, the Commission shall deliver its report to the
Joint Committee on Government and Finance and the
Legislative Oversight Commission on Education
Accountability.
This report shall include a recommendation to the Legislature
on a formula for the allocation of general revenue to be
appropriated to such institutions that provides for ratable
funding across all four-year institutions and community and
technical colleges on a ratable basis, by enrolled student, by
credit hour or by other relevant measures. On such basis, the
Commission shall make a recommendation to the Legislature
as to the amounts that each such institution should have
appropriated to it in the general revenue budget for fiscal year
2019, based upon the total general revenue appropriations
that such institutions receive in aggregate in the enacted
budget for fiscal year 2018.
