- Promote the development of a shared, data-informed frame of reference to support the University’s processes of planning, performance, evaluation, and improvement
- Attempt to anticipate the information and analysis needs of those whom we serve
- Provide accurate and timely information about the University to external clients
- Use the web site to communicate commonly requested information and to highlight materials that may be broadly useful for planning, evaluation, and decision making
- Collect and analyze contextual and comparative data to support the University's operational and strategic planning
- Maintain information systems needed to support accurate, timely, and flexible analysis of information that may cross administrative areas; if appropriate, develop such systems internally
- Work to discover high quality processes to increase our effectiveness
