OIE Mission  

Our charge in the Loyola University Chicago Office of Institutional Effectiveness (OIE) is to embody Loyola's Jesuit Catholic values as we guide leaders to reflect on data, information and analysis to optimize institutional effectiveness and advance our institutional mission. We empower university leaders’ evidence-informed decision-making that is grounded in sound data governance.    

OIE Purpose  

Rooted in the Jesuit Catholic values and mission of the University, the Loyola University Chicago Office of Institutional Effectiveness (OIE)  

• Provide leadership as a trusted partner working with ITS and other colleagues across campus, to implement all aspects of data governance for officially reported institutional data.  
• Engage the LUC community in discernment and dialogue examining how business processes influence data collected so that the reporting out of that data informs responsible improvements in institutional business practices and student learning.  
• Advance continuous improvement by advocating for responsible and improved use of how data is used in institutional decision-making processes.  

• Ensure that all of this is done in a timely manner, to the highest level of quality, and in alignment with Loyola's mission, values, and strategic objectives.
