Peer Performance
A peer based model adopted by the Maryland Higher Education Commission (MHEC) in September 1999. The
guidelines are designed to identify peer institutions by providing both a funding standard and a basis
for comparison between institutions. These "funding peers" are then compared to Maryland institutions
to inform resource questions and assess performance.
