  1    Education that achieving funding equity among Idaho's four  year  institutions
  2    of  higher  education  is an important goal. The Legislature therefore directs

  9    The  State  Board  of Education, in cooperation with the Division of Financial
 10    Management and the Legislative Services Office, shall develop  a  standardized
 11    system for reporting meaningful data about faculty member workload and produc-
 12    tivity  at  the  state's four four-year institutions of higher education. Such
 13    reports shall  include  the  number  of  faculty  by  classification,  whether
 14    tenured, tenure track or adjunct; the number of credit hours taught by faculty
 15    member  by  department, the number of service hours and the number of research
 16    hours by faculty member by department.

 18    tinue  to  provide a standardized system for tracking and reporting meaningful

 20    state's  institutions of higher education. These statistics shall be available
 21    to the Division of Financial Management and the Legislative Services Office no
 22    later than November 1 of each year.
                                                                        
 23        SECTION 6.  CARRYOVER AUTHORITY. There is  hereby  reappropriated  to  the
 24    State  Board of Education and the Board of Regents for the University of Idaho
 25    for Boise State University, Idaho State University, the University  of  Idaho,
