State policy choices on how to fund postsecondary institutions—through the specific use of outcomes-based funding (OBF)—can either help or hinder efforts to address inequities that affect so many students and our nation.

This paper provides a detailed classification system for clearly understanding the equity measures that states have and how they may improve their effectiveness.
