buildings, and colorful gardens and ponds. Founded

Accountability continues to be a key ingredient
in one of the building blocks of the Harvey model
for a successful administration. The desired results
must be achieved. Hence, the performances needed
to achieve these results are of utmost importance.To
this end, the university must have in place monitoring
strategies and mechanisms to assess and evaluate
performances of its functional areas and operations
on a continuing basis. With these activities taking
place, the success levels of the university’s
components and thus the university can be determined.With
this managing principle in mind, President Harvey
established the unit of Operations Analysis and
Research at the university. A primary function
of this unit is the assessment and evaluation
of the functional areas and operations at the
university. Another key ingredient for successful
administration is the efficiency and effectiveness
of this office in performing its duties. To this
end OAR seeks to find and utilize the most sophisticated
and reliable methods and technology to retrieve,
store, analyze, interpret and report its findings.
