The Office of Institutional Analysis (OIA) has four functions:
- We undertake analyses that provide information for senior management decision making.
- We provide periodic management information reporting for use by: UM senior administrative officers of UM; UM stakeholders; the public-at-large, the Provincial Government, through Education and Advanced Learning (EAL); and external governmental and community agencies.
- We undertake studies and analyses to meet anticipated planning and management needs.
- On behalf of the President and Vice-Presidents, we ensure that all centrally maintained databases define and collect data that meets their Executive Information System (EIS) needs, and vet all institutional information reporting to ensure that it accurately and appropriately reflects the institution.
OIA's mission is to fulfil these functions in an accurate, reliable, ethical and timely fashion, using institutional research best practices.
