MONITORING AND REPORTING
Policy
Board of Regents policy requires regular and systematic assessment of programs, services, campuses and the University as a whole.
- In accordance with Hawaii Revised Statutes 304-4.5 (also known as Act 161) benchmarks/performance indicators tied to Master (Strategic) Plan goals have been adopted (Board of Regents action 10/96) and implemented.
Program Review
All University of Hawaii academic programs are subject to periodic review. Within established University policy, these reviews assess the extent to which academic programs are meeting their stated objectives and whether these objectives are still appropriate to the campus, Unit and University missions. The University prepares an annual status report on the results of the program review process.

Benchmarks/Performance Indicators Report, 2000 Update
This is the Universitys fourth report; the 2002 update for the 2003 Legislature is in progress. In accordance with HRS 304-4.5 (Act 161), the goals of the University of Hawaii Strategic Plan, 1997-2007, provide the framework for reporting on benchmarks/performance indicators. The report identifies relevant benchmarks/performance indicators associated with University strategic goals and details levels of performance/achievement.
The benchmarks/performance indicators presented respond to accountability concerns and assist in internal efforts directed at program improvement and mission/goal achievement. Benchmarks generally denote a standard or reference point against which a comparison can be made. UH performance indicators reveal progress over time, at intervals, and against standards/practices elsewhere.
