Decision Support/CQI

At the Strategic Planning Forum we distributed a year-end review handout that included a model and explanation of Continuous Quality Improvement. The model and explanation are now available online.

Continuous Quality Improvement describes what we've been doing at UNO for quite some time, using data to uncover ways to improve our programs, services, and processes.

We know data-driven decision making is happening all of the time at UNO, but it has not always been easy to document. And, as most of you know, accrediting bodies emphasize capacity to demonstrate regular use of data in decision making and program improvement.

Since 2005, the UNO Writing Center has advanced two of UNO’s key strategic goals, supporting students and promoting academic excellence. The Writing Center helps students with a wide range of writing projects and helps faculty integrate effective writing assignments into their courses. In the Fall of 2015, the Center had a staff of twenty-two, including a director, associate director, graduate assistants from the English Department, student workers, graduate consultants,interns, and a volunteer. Without additional funding, meeting demand as the UNO student body grows will be increasingly difficult, if not impossible.
