Washington and Lee University
The Washington and Lee University Fact Book began as an official volume of the University's Self-Study Report which was submitted to the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools in March 1978 as part of the re-accreditation process. In recent years, it has been trimmed to eliminate information readily available in other University publications. In 2006, the Office of Institutional Effectiveness developed an online version for increased accessibility to frequently requested, public, current and historical University facts and figures.
The Office of Institutional Effectiveness at Washington and Lee provides education and facilitates an ongoing, systematic, integrated assessment process and supports that process with analytical information for all areas of the Washington and Lee academic and administrative communities.
The Common Data Set is a set of standards and definitions of data items and specific cohort definitions listing the university's most-requested data by major publishers (the College Board, Peterson's, and U.S. News & World Report).
