Is this a new position or replacing somebody?

BTW, level 11 is not high enough for asking somebody to track the scholarship. This should be a level 13 with a masters.

To whom does this position report?  The description is a little murky.  What data? How does this relate to IR?  Seems like there might be some overlap?  If it's a new position, why is it being created now, three weeks from the new president's coming in?

Lots of questions!!

Relax LVN.  This is not a new position, but it has been unfilled for a few weeks.  The Assessment Office desperately needs a much larger staff - look at what other universities that take assessment/accreditation seriously have for staff.

If we had an IR unit that operated like the ones at other major universities then Assessment wouldn't need to hire its own data collector.  But, alas, ours is so territorial that it won't do but the narrowest of job descriptions.

Well, that was what puzzled me. I worked in IR years ago at another school, and it sounded like an IR job. Maybe I should apply for it -- what would you give for my chances?  wink
