You have probably been asked to fill out LOTS of surveys in your time here. The data we collect helps University leaders make informed decisions. For example, the University’s academic advising system was updated based in part on information provided on a survey called the Student Satisfaction Inventory. We also coordinate reporting outcomes through projects such as the Annual Report, Program Self-Studies and External Reviews, and Focus on Faculty. We keep track of the total number of students and their majors. The purpose of all this work is to understand how Manhattan University works in order to find ways to improve your experience and come closer to fulfilling our Lasallian mission. Accountability OIRA provides information required by the Federal and New York State governments to maintain compliance with education laws and regulations.
