Working priorities for IRP are developed in response to official external demands for information, specific planning-related information requests by the President and his cabinet, and needs of university-wide formal committees & task forces.

Information about individual cases within the University community may be obtained from offices where it is collected, stored, and maintained (e.g.: Registrar, Human Resources, Financial Affairs, etc.) subject both to individuals' "right to privacy" and inquirers' "right to know" from a public agency.

IRP staff are eager to help and counsel all University stakeholders regarding other data, research and planning-related issues & techniques, time permitting.
