Patrick V. Farrell, Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, states that all statistical data regarding Lehigh University being released to external parties must first be reviewed and approved by our office, the Office of Institutional Research & Strategic Analytics (OIRSA).
He addresses this issue in a memorandum to the Academic Affairs senior leadership (PDF). In particular, the memorandum states that ".. .the releasing of any statistical data regardless of who is requesting the information must first be reviewed and approved by OIR. It is particularly important that this is adhered to as it relates to any surveys relating to salaries."
