IRSA unveils revamped benchmark dashboard
The Office of Institutional Research and Strategic Analytics (IRSA) invites faculty and staff members to explore the new benchmark dashboard, now featuring the ability to group and filter by a variety of dimensions. The benchmark process at the University is a foundational component of institutional reporting and strategic analytics, engaging a process involving systematically capturing snapshots of key student data tables twice each semester. These snapshots, known as benchmark and end-of-term, serve as the official source for compliance reporting to state and federal agencies, accreditation bodies, and external surveys such as IPEDS, U.S. News, QS World University Rankings, and others. Reach out to umdata@miami.edu for help or questions.
