Department Chair Resources
This page contains links to tools that will assist department chairs in data-informed decision-making. The tools are organized by the various activities for which chairs are responsible. Almost all reports will be accessible through the dataMarq report catalog, a portal through which university decision-makers can access key university reports. Many of the reports on this list are restricted to deans, associate deans, and department chairs.
