​​​​​​The Office of the Provost emphasizes the use of data in making informed decisions to guide the institution, and aligned with that process is transparency in how the data is collected and utilized.  In conjunction with its accreditation and assessment efforts, the Office of the Provost has established indicators of Institutional Effectiveness. These aligned, targeted measures - institutional effectiveness, student learning, and student achievement - demonstrate how OHSU is fulfilling its mission.
