| The mission of the Office of Institutional
Research (OIR) is to enhance University effectiveness with
information to support planning, assessment, policy formation,
and decision making.
In fulfilling this mission, the OIR collects, preserves,
edits, analyzes, and interprets significant and meaningful
information and disseminates it in a timely and effective
manner. The OIR is responsible for the design and production
of routine and ad hoc reports for internal constituencies,
federal, state, and other external agencies. The OIR is
charged with the development and maintenance of an integrated
database that incorporates University historical data from
multiple sources in ways that inform and advise University
policy.
In support of the Strategic Planning Council and academic
program review processes, the OIR is responsible for the
design and implementation of analytic studies of internal
and external constituencies and the development of assessment
reports and accountability requirements. The OIR provides
assistance to students, faculty, and staff in conducting
research to support University themes, initiatives and accomplishments,
planning priorities, and special projects. |
