University of California, Berkeley. Office of Institutional Research

The Office of Institutional Research as established in the 1960s under the then Assistant Chancellor for Budget and Planning to systematize the collection and reporting of institutional data, primarily those pertaining to students. The scope of its activities gradually grew to include data on course scheduling, teaching loads, space utilization and other areas relevant to the instructional program. Planners and analysts were the primary users of these data, and in 1994 the two functions of gathering data and making use of those data were combined into the Office of Planning and Analysis.
