a method for evaluating each institution's progress toward meeting specific
goals, principles, strategies, objectives, and benchmarks as set forth in the
strategic agenda established in KRS 164.0203. It is further the intent of the
General Assembly that the accountability process monitor performance at the
institutions in each of the major areas of instruction, research, and public
service, while recognizing the individual missions of each of the institutions.
The accountability process shall provide for the adoption of systemwide and
individual performance goals with standards identified with the advice of the
postsecondary educational institutions and the Council on Postsecondary
Education.

(d) Use of resources;
(e) Other performance or outcomes that support the achievement of the
strategic agenda, including involvement in quality enhancement of
elementary and secondary education; and
(f) Other indicators as deemed appropriate by the Council on Postsecondary
Education.
The Council on Postsecondary Education shall collect information, maintain a
comprehensive database, and publish reports on the condition of the
postsecondary education system that include but are not limited to student
enrollments, utilization of facilities, and the finances of the institutions.
The Council on Postsecondary Education shall submit to the Governor and the
Legislative Research Commission an annual accountability report providing
information on the implementation of performance standards and the

undertaken during the next year.
