Mandated and External Reporting is responsible for responding to federal, state, and accreditor requests for the institution in order to meet compliance requirements. It also serves as the source for comprehensive, accurate, and consistent information in response to requests from internal and external stakeholders. Some external requests that are submitted include surveys that help inform potential students/parents about IU’s academic impact as well as those that shape the reputation or status of the institution such as US News and World Rankings and international rankings.
