Implement regular assessments of program outcomes, student learning, and faculty performance to identify areas for improvement.
Gather feedback from students, alumni, employers, and industry partners to assess the effectiveness of educational operations and make data-driven decisions for improvement.

Develop targeted marketing campaigns to attract prospective students and raise awareness about the IT school's programs, faculty expertise, and industry connections.

Business vs Academia

Does anyone else feel like a business or human resource person wrote this, rather than someone who actually works in academia? I feel like with a lot of the information, I am having to either think of ways to alter it to make it actually work for hiring faculty or take only part of it because the rest just does not apply. Maybe I'm missing something.
