It has a major role in providing statistical data to the President, Deans, and the Trustees and Overseers for strategic planning, accreditation review, and student outcomes. The Office of Institutional Research also has a major responsibility for compiling and filing reports required by the Washington Higher Education Coordinating Board, the U.S. Department of Education, and other agencies, as well as the Common Data Set and other external requests.
