Abstract
The task force charge asks for metrics at several levels—identifying ways to measure progress at the operational level, and in collegiate units, coordinate campuses, and administrative units, as well as University-wide performance measures. A theme throughout this work is to align what we measure, wherever we measure it, with progress toward the University’s aspirational goal. Our work will lead to many activities being measured, monitored, and evaluated at a variety of levels. This is the real key to achieving the University’s goal. But only a relatively short list of measures can be reasonably used to make the University-wide assessment. These latter measures must be chosen selectively from among many competitors.
