Divisional Mission
In collaboration with other divisions of the university, the Division
of Institutional Effectiveness at James Madison University seeks to insure
that university resources are being used wisely in pursuit of
mission-related initiatives.
Specifically, the Division of Institutional Effectiveness:
- promotes the concept, where appropriate, that programs and services
have established educational objectives; that these objectives are
rigorously assessed to determine whether pre-determined standards are
being met; and that practices are in place for using assessment
results to improve programs and services through modifications
including the allocation and reallocation of resources.
- promotes the concept, where appropriate, that
programs and services have selected or designed administrative
performance levels or benchmarks; and that these evaluative data are
used to initiate program and service improvements including the
allocation and reallocation of resources.
- identifies and shares with the University's
leadership information about global, national and regional projections
for the future that have potential impact for the University.
- communicates to constituencies about the
University's planning process, its initiatives, and its assessment and
evaluation efforts.
- seeks to determine the expectations of the
University's constituencies; the extent to which the University meets
these expectations, and the identification of ways in which the
University can achieve these expectations.
- provides accurate and timely information to
meet all constituent, state, and federal reporting requirements.
