The Committee for Operational Assessment mirrors, to some degree, the work of the Academic Assessment team. The difference, however, is that this team focuses on non-academic units; this team focuses on departments and programs not directly associated with the offering of degree credit. For example, this team reviews the effectiveness of operations within such areas as Learning Resources, Purchasing, International Student Services, the Women’s Center, the Career Center, the Bursar’s Office, Intercollegiate and Intramural Athletics, and Payroll and Tax Compliance.
