We are deep into planning throughout our university - new President, etc.,
etc.

I have had a question put to me that I have no answer for - "How do you
measure success relative to other institutions?"

I have never used other institutions as benchmarks because I have always
seen each as unique.

Do any of you use some sort of yardstick to measure success that takes into
account similar institutions?

We are rural, nearly 10,000 students, regional university, strong education
and arts colleges.  Also have nursing, business and arts and sciences
colleges.

Thanks for any input.
