Institutional Planning & Assessment

The Office of Institutional Planning and Assessment (IPA) in the Division of Academic Affairs provides leadership and oversight for campus-wide strategic planning and institutional effectiveness. IPA focuses on continual improvement in institutional quality through assessment of TSU's performance on student learning and the core business functions that support student success.

Major responsibilities include leadership and oversight of strategic plans, assessment and documentation in ComplianceAssist!; College Annual Reporting on key performance indicators; student evaluation of faculty instruction; faculty evaluation of department heads and deans; and coordination of system-wide strategic planning and performance funding initiatives.

IPA is represented in the following campus-wide committees:

• University Strategic Planning Council (USPC)
• University Assessment and Improvement Council (UAIC)
• Academic Master Plan Steering Committee (AMP)
• SACS Reaffirmation of Accreditation Committee

In our evaluation and research activities, IPA is guided by relevant statutes and requirements, including The Forum Guide to Data Ethics of the U.S. Department of Education National Forum on Education Statistics.
