Biographical / Historical Note
The Office of Decision Support, formerly known as the Office of Institutional Analysis and Planning, serves as UNLV’s foundation for data collection, integration, analysis, and reporting by combining four related areas: Institutional Analysis and Planning, Data Governance, Data Warehousing, and Business Intelligence (BI). The goal of the Office of Decision Support is to promote data-informed decisions and facilitate connections among goals and performance measures at all levels of the university. In 2013, UNLV renamed the Office of Institutional Analysis and Planning to the Office of Decision Support to reflect its growing responsibilities.
