data into information for analysis and assessment;
conducts policy
analysis, institutional research and executive management studies to
support informed decision making at the university;
assures that
institutional policies and procedures are in compliance with all
appropriate rules and regulations;
directs and coordinates
institutional planning, assessment and evaluation;
serves as a reporting
official and liaison for mandated UT System, state and federal reports
and projects in the areas of institutional research, planning and
