Ramapo College Institutional Effectiveness Home
Committee Charge
The Institutional Effectiveness Committee was established to systematically assess the goals and objectives of non-academic programs.
What is Institutional Effectiveness?
Institutional Effectiveness (IE) is the extent to which an institution achieves its mission and goals. The College's Institutional Effectiveness process is an on-going, institution-wide process of planning and outcomes assessment for the purpose of continuous improvement and to provide evidence that the college is effectively achieving its mission.
What does Institutional Effectiveness involve?
- Collecting, analyzing and using results to assess whether the purpose and objectives of the strategic plan are being met (all unit plan objectives will be vetted and collected through the IE committee) and
- Providing evidence of improvement based on assessment (this will be done through the Office of Institutional Effectiveness, Research, and Planning)
What will an Institutional Effectiveness plan do for us?
The IE process at Ramapo College is an on-going planning-implementing-improving cycle that is applied at every level of the college. An Institutional Effectiveness plan will provide answers to the recurring questions we have all heard from time to time on campus:
- Who are we?
- What are we trying to accomplish?
- How well are we doing?
- How can we improve what we are doing?
- What evidence exists that we have improved?
What does the Institutional Effectiveness Committee do?
The IE Committee reviews all unit/school plans, divisional plans and other institutional plans and informs the Cabinet of the progress being made toward achieving the goals as set forth in the Strategic Plan. This committee will also liaise with the Academic Assessment Committee (student learning outcomes assessment) on a regular basis.
All movement made toward mission and goal attainment will be reported by the IE Committee. An objectives implementation timetable will be posted to the Institutional Effectiveness web-site and shared with the campus community through all levels of development and completion. The progress made towards successful outcomes for unit plan objectives will inform and guide each unit's annual budget submission process. This process will operationalize the final stage of linking the "Planning, Budget, and Assessment Initiative" on campus.
