Defining Institutional Research: Findings from a National Study of IR Work Tasks. A Focus on Senior IR/IE Leaders
Lillibridge, Fred; Swing, Randy L.; Jones, Darlena; Ross, Leah Ewing
Association for Institutional Research
The Association for Institutional Research (AIR) is engaged in a variety of efforts to document the current state of institutional research. In 2012, the Association initiated a critically important effort to identify the tasks involved in the work of institutional research (IR) across all titles and variations represented in its membership. This work was led by long-term AIR member and Past President Fred Lillibridge, Emeritus Associate Vice President for Accreditation, Compliance, and Planning at Doña Ana Community College. The questions that guided this inquiry included: What skills and abilities do search committees seek when hiring institutional researchers? What tasks are included in AIR members' work? How much is what institutional researchers do worth? The primary goal of this project was to produce an inventory of tasks involved in the work of institutional research (IR) across all titles and variations represented in the AIR membership. The tasks included in this report were submitted by AIR members. The subsequent pages of this report reflect findings about the degree to which senior IR/IE officers perform the tasks examined in this study.
