OIR MISSION & STAFF
Operational Guidelines: General
Operationally, the Office of Institutional Research provides ongoing analysis of faculty, staff, student, facilities, course offerings, credit hours, degree majors, and a wide variety of other operational data and topics of institutional concern. OIR distributes institutional data through publications such as The University of Georgia Fact Book , the OIR web site (http://www.oir.uga.edu/) and through periodic release of routine and ad hoc reports.
The following general operational guidelines direct OIR activity.
- Respond accurately, efficiently, and in a timely manner within stated priority sequences;
- Develop information from appropriate institutional perspectives, e.g., specific unit(s) or institution-wide, as determined by the issue(s) being addressed;
- Observe priority-setting procedures (e.g., source of request, approval by Director and/or designated staff) within priority-related criteria (e.g., immediacy of need, complexity of project), and criteria for rejection (e.g., individual faculty or student request, request for sensitive information);
- Maintain logs of studies, projects, and activities in order to provide lists of available projects/data and to provide documentation and effectiveness measures for OIR;
- When appropriate, design reports for selective distribution and/or inclusion in The University of Georgia Fact Book and the OIR web site as information useful to improved planning and decision-making;
- Continue to assess, retrain, and reassign OIR personnel in order to maintain high levels of productivity and to contribute to high staff morale.
