Institutional Analysis - Reports

The links below will take you to various data-intensive internal and external reports, some of which are required by the State of Texas or UT System. While there is growing alignment between many of these reports, you will find occasions where definitions and commensurate data do not agree. When in doubt, please review definitions provided or contact Deanne Hernandez for clarification.

UTHSC-H internal reports
UT System reports
Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board reports
Legislative Budget Board reports


UTHSC-H internal reports

  • UTHSC-H Fact Book (current)
    The Fact Book is an annual compilation of key trend data and descriptive information related to the health science center's key mission areas of education, research, patient care, and service. Updated print and online editions are available to the health science center community in January of each year.

UT System reports

  • The University of Texas System Accountability Report
    In 2002, The University of Texas Regents and Chancellor Yudof agreed that institutional accountability should be a major System priority. SInce that time, an integrated accountability and performance reporting system was put in place to assess "how well...System and component institutions...are achieving their goals and add(ing) value." Annual reports are updated each Fall semester with presentation to the UT System Board of Regents in February. There is some alignment between this report, the Statewide Accountability Report, and the Performance Measures report .

Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board reports

  • Closing the Gaps
    Closing the Gaps represents Texas's plan to increase enrollment, improve graduation rates, foster programs of excellence, and enhance research activity at every state-supported college and university. Individual campus and statewide targets for 2010 and 2015 are currently in place; the THECB occasionally requires institutional updates.

  • Statewide Accountability Report
    Similar to the UT System Accountability Report above, this Statewide Report was mandated by Governor's Proclamation in January 2004 with the first report provided to the Governor and Texas Legislature in January 2005. Measures assess instiututions' progress toward meeting the goals established in Closing the Gaps. There is some alignment between this report, the UT System Accountability Report above, and the Performance Measures report.

  • Uniform Recruitment & Retention
    Related to Closing the Gaps, the Uniform Recruitment & Retention Report to the THECB seeks best practices to ensure that all Texans, including historically underrepresented population groups, can participate and succeed in higher education. Each institution's report highlights its top three recruitment and retention-related programs. This report is due to the THECB each December.

  • Research Expenditures
    The THECB’s annual research expenditures report summarizes data submitted to the Board as required by Section 61.051(h) of the Texas Education Code, which states: “Once a year, on dates prescribed by the board, each institution of higher education shall report to the board all research conducted at that institution during the last preceding year.” Updated reports are available each summer covering the prior fiscal year's activity. Some data in this report also appears in the Statewide Accountability Report above.

Legislative Budget Board reports

  • Performance Measures
    The Texas Legislature requires all state-supported institutions of higher education to provide actual data related to education, research, patient care, and administrative efficiency. Annual reports are due to the LBB each November1; measures designated as "key" also require projections submitted each even-year summer as part of the institution's Legislative Appropriations Request (LAR). There is some alignment between the Performance Measures report and the Accountability Reports above.
