In 1979, the University System of Georgia Administrative Committee on Institutional Research and Planning was created. The Committee's ongoing purpose is to concern Itself with matters of information handling as well as institutional and System research, planning and assessment methodologies. At the same time, the Committee is a forum for open discussion of mutual and individual problems that affect not only individual institutions, but the entire University System as well. All of this has resulted in an increased awareness of institutional research function and has generated a sense of camaraderie among University System institutions.
Institutional researchers play a crucial role in the administration of colleges and universities.
The Administrative Committee on Institutional Research and Planning is a means by which researchers can more ably carry out their roles. This page has been accessed 1021 times since July 8, 1998.
