Pamela Brown and Charles Masten
Mission and Values
We provide evidence-based analyses and reports
that inform and shape
university management, strategic planning, institutional policy, and decision support.
Mission and Values Accuracy: IRAP produces trustworthy, unbiased, relevant, and
thorough analyses that provide context, inform policy, assist program development, and guide decision-making.
Creativity: IRAP develops data-driven narratives and data visualizations that are innovative and compelling, and that offer decision support.
Collaboration: IRAP engages with colleagues within the UC Office of the President (UCOP), at UC campuses, and among external partners to advance the mission of the University of California and the goals of public higher education.
Expertise: IRAP provides substantive context for understanding and managing key areas, including student admissions, financial aid, enrollment, student outcomes, academic programs, policies, personnel, research, finance, and workforce.
