IRAP
The fundamental purpose of the Office of Institutional Research, Assessment & Planning (IRAP) is to provide data support for university planning and management activities directed toward fulfilling the stated mission of the university. In this capacity, the IRAP assumes primary responsibility for (a) collecting data about the performance of the university, (b) collecting data about the environment of the university, (c) analyzing and interpreting the collected data, and (d) transforming the data into information that supports university planning, policy making, decision making, and assessment. To that end the services of the IRAP are available to university administrators, faculty, and students involved in planning and management activities as well as to persons and agencies outside the university. The IRAP seeks both to respond promptly to requests for data and to initiate studies that contribute to the effective management of the university.
