The Office of Institutional Research & Planning (OIRP) at Çï¿ûÊÓÆµ is the source for official institutional information and contributes to the high standard of excellence through supporting College goals by providing timely information to assist with planning, decision-making, and reporting.<\/p>\n
OIRP is dedicated to data transparency, a core tenet of data science. We believe that data collection methods should be shared and open to scrutiny, and that results of data collection and research should be shared with campus constituents and, when appropriate, the general public. In support of data transparency, OIRP is committed to providing timely, accurate, and comprehensive data, and to fully disclosing institutional data to the extent allowed under relevant privacy laws (e.g., FERPA) and will not suppress or manipulate data at the request of any individual or office.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
