Institutional Effectiveness

Leading this effort is the interdisciplinary Institutional Effectiveness Team (IET) which represents a permanent and tangible institutional commitment to a stable, sustainable, and formal collaborative process of institutional effectiveness assessment and policy review to inform institutional decision-making and practice. This is accomplished through several annual processes aligned to the Institutional Effectiveness Plan including:

• Review of assessment data from administrative units across the institution
• Review of institution-wide survey data
• Review the fidelity of implementation of student learning assessment
• Review or development of strategic priorities (depending on the strategic planning cycle)
• Review or development of HLC self-study evidence and alignment to Standards
• Review of relevant university committee output related to institutional effectiveness
• Review and recommend the adoption of policy to alter institutional practice
• Maintain and update the governance manual
• Develop KPIs and benchmarks in service to Institutional Effectiveness
• Other actions as necessary to ensure IE Strategic Objectives are being met
