In last month’s Data Bite, we learned that 51 percent of Offices of IR are located within the division of the Provost/Chief Academic Officer and 26 percent are located within the division of the President/Chief Executive Officer.

Who does the Office of IR director/senior manager report to within those divisions? We find 37 percent of directors of IR at public, two-year institutions report directly to the institution’s president/CEO (compared to 16 percent and 12 percent for directors of IR at private, not-for-profit, four-year institutions and public, four-year institutions, respectively).

We also find that 19 percent of directors of IR at public, two-year institutions report directly to their institution’s provost/CAO (compared to 46 percent and 38 percent for directors of IR at private, not-for-profit, four-year institutions and public, four-year institutions, respectively).

Is there a Data Bite you would like to see?
