Institutional Effectiveness

Institutional Effectiveness (IE) is the alignment between institutional practice and Mission. Through an annual process of continuous assessment and data collection, guided by the institution’s strategic plan, 91×ÔÅÄensures that we meet our Mission.

IE at Eastern

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
