What is the UT System doing to be more accountable to the public, parents and the Legislature?
In 2002 the UT System launched an Accountability program to measure the effectiveness of its institutions. This system will monitor progress across the whole spectrum of higher education functions – teaching, research and health care; services to communities; and organizational efficiency and productivity. This program expands on and improves long-standing accountability procedures that include numerous state and federal reports, an extensive auditing program and one of the nation’s most advanced programs for ensuring compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
