The Office of Institutional Effectiveness (OIE) advances quality assurance and institutional improvement through collaboration with academic programs, student services, and administrative units across GSU. It coordinates ongoing assessment and evaluation of academic and administrative performance, using evidence-based findings to inform planning, decision-making, and governance. The Office also supports regulatory compliance and oversees institutional data reporting for accreditation and licensure.

Functional Areas

• Assessment and Evaluation: The OIE is responsible for ensuring the gathering and analysis of data related to GSU strategic outcomes, including student success, academic programs, and institutional performance. We empower academic programs and administrative units by providing technical support for rigorous evaluation of set goals and objectives that provide analytical insights for improvement of performance.
  
• Compliance with Regulatory Expectations: The OIE takes the lead in assuring that GSU meets all required key performance indicators across the 6 pillars of the Commission on Academic Accreditation’s (CAA) Outcome-Based Frameworks including, but not limited to, employment outcomes, learning outcomes, and research outcomes. We also work with every GSU unit to be in operational compliance with all accreditation and licensure regulatory expectations and requirements including providing support for risk management activities through the work of the university’s Risk Management Committee.

• Accreditation Matters: OIE works with Academic Programs to:
  • Coordinate the accreditation processes, both national and international,
  • Conduct benchmarking as appropriate,
  • Obtain necessary institutional and subject rankings,
  • Facilitate periodic review of academic programs’ self-study as required.

• Strategic Planning: OIE works with the Chancellor’s office to monitor the implementation of GSU’s strategic planning processes and shape the institution’s future direction as required by the Commission on Academic Accreditation (CAA). The OIE works to support institutional processes for strategic priorities.
