Job Description

The Director of Assessment has university-wide responsibilities to drive the university’s continuous quality improvement efforts and ensure the institution can demonstrate accountability, stewardship, and excellence to external stakeholders.

Job Duties:

35% Direct the administration of critical surveys and analysis of data to evaluate university effectiveness. This includes surveys assessing student satisfaction (biennial), employee engagement (annually), and leader effectiveness evaluations by faculty (annually).

25% Communicate results from surveys and other assessments to constituents, using interactive data visualization tools to support the university’s improvement efforts and strategic planning. Results are communicated to specific university constituents/leaders as appropriate, which requires the incumbent to enforce row level security features in the data visualization tool. Other results may be presented orally, so excellent communication skills are needed.

15% Oversee the annual individualized assessment plans for all academic programs, student support services, and major administrative units. These plans demonstrate that the university academic programs and student support units and Deans’ Offices are using well defined metrics and targets to examine performance and that results are being used to make changes as needed for continuous quality improvement.

10% Assist with university accreditation activities. Every five years, the university must complete work relevant to continued accreditation by SACSCOC; between those times, work is completed to help ensure that accreditation standards are continually met.

10% Serve as an expert consultant on academic program workgroups involved in self-studies for professional accreditation. There are approximately 10 professional accreditation agencies relevant to the academic programs the university offers (which translates to approximately 3 per year); the Director of Assessment will serve on workgroups to help complete these self studies and will be an external reviewer of finalized self-studies before they are submitted.

5% Other duties as needed. This may include, but not limited to, special projects needed in the area of evaluation, assessment, regulatory compliance, and ad hoc reports.
