When your Board Chair asks, “How is our campus doing?”, how will you respond?

No one ever wants to admit that their college is in decline.

When Trustees ask that questions, it’s imperative for college leadership to answer that question accurately. But when trustees ask different executives, they often get different answers, depending on who they ask. That’s because many campus offices work in silos, segregating their work from the work being carried out in other departments. Seldom does any single department have all the data or all the answers. To answer that all important question “how is our campus doing” campus leadership and the board of trustees need a formal mechanism for evaluating institutional performance.

With the right reporting and metric data, institutions can gain deep insight into the performance of their campus. Year over year tracking of key performance metrics is essential for tracking improvement and evaluating institutional performance relative to each campus’s role, scope and mission. Periodic benchmarking against national competitors and counterparts can provide much needed context that can be used to inform leadership constituents of how their institution is performing against the larger marketplace where they compete.
