HEDPC Introduces New e-AIR Feature: IR in the Know
(irintheknow@airweb.org)

Searching for ways to stay informed about national data and policy issues? Wondering how emerging issues will impact your institution? The Higher Education Data Policy Committee (HEDPC) is pleased to introduce IR in the Know.

Starting in November, IR in the Know will be a monthly feature in the Electronic AIR (e-AIR) newsletter. IR in the Know will keep you up-to-date on current and emerging issues related to higher education data collection, analyses, and reporting.

Each month, IR in the Know will focus on data and policy issues of particular relevance to institutional researchers, such as accountability, assessment, accreditation, NCES, federal legislation, and national databases. Each issue will include a brief issue summary and links to more detailed information.

IR in the Know will supplement current HEDPC publications – the AIR Alerts and AIR FYI. These publications will continue to provide AIR members with a comprehensive summary and analyses of important issues.

We welcome your feedback as well as your suggestions for topics or material to provide in the newsletter. If you find a resource or article you think might be useful to other IR professionals, please send an e-mail to irintheknow@airweb.org. With your help, we can provide a valuable communication tool to all AIR members.
