Unit 3: 2009-10 Fiscal Analysis (THEC)

The Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC) was created in 1967 by the Tennessee General Assembly (TCA 49-7-202) for the purpose of coordinating and supporting the efforts of post-secondary institutions in the State of Tennessee. One of its statutory requirements is to create a master plan for the development of public higher education in Tennessee.

The mission for Tennessee's twenty-first century system of higher education is to elevate the overall educational attainment of citizens in the State through increased accessibility to mission-focused institutions, which deliver educational services on campus, as well as through a planned network of off-campus instruction and to prepare citizens responsibly for success in the new century by providing high quality teaching and research in an environment that serves the needs of its consumers.

If you are a CFO, CBO or a person interested in HE Finance in the state of Tennessee, the Tennessee Higher Education Commission has a fiscal analysis page http://www.state.tn.us/thec/Divisions/Fiscal/FiscalAnalysis.html that lists several reports that may be helpful in understanding public HE in Tennessee. There are reports listed for appropriations, a tuition model, some grapevine appropriation data, total student support history and state student subsidy for 2009-10.
