AI Summary

This bill aims to improve efficiency and accountability in higher education funding in Arkansas by establishing a comprehensive study of courses at state-supported institutions. The bill's legislative intent focuses on two key objectives: ensuring that public funds are used efficiently in alignment with the Arkansas ACCESS Act, and promoting fiscal responsibility in higher education funding. Specifically, the bill calls for a detailed examination of all higher education courses, which will include analyzing their applicability, necessity for specific majors, student enrollment numbers, production costs, and their impact on job placement and student earnings. By conducting this extensive review, the Arkansas General Assembly seeks to gain insights into the effectiveness and value of courses offered at state-supported higher education institutions, with the ultimate goal of optimizing resource allocation and improving educational outcomes.
