Abstract
This chapter reviews data from a qualitative interview study conducted with POBF advocates and critics from various organizations focused on higher education, campus leaders, and academic researchers. As more states move toward substantial POBF formulas, it is crucial to understand how these policies work to advantage or disadvantage our most vulnerable student populations. In this chapter, we explore higher education leaders’ insights and experiences with POBF, specifically targeting leaders who have been publicly vocal about the ways the policies have helped or inhibited equity.
