Reform in the State Budgeting of Postsecondary Education. Reports of the San Diego Seminar 'Innovation, Outcomes, and the State Budgeting Process' and the San Francisco Conference 'State Funding of Postsecondary Education: Incentives for Improvement.'

The seminar on "Innovation, Outcomes, and the State Budgeting Process" was a joint effort of seven organizations (Education Commission of the States, Legis 50/The Center for Legislative Improvement, National Association of State Budget Officers, National Center for Higher Education Management Systems at WICHE, National Conference of State Legislatures, and the National Governors Conference), which share an interest in the issues of performance budgeting in postsecondary education. Along with a synthesis of the seminar, the agenda, and a list of participants, a report, "State Governments as Funders of Postsecondary Education: Catalysts for Improvement?" presented at the July conference in San Francisco, is provided.
