Decision Support

Brittany Jackson Kairis

Associate Vice Chancellor

Created in November 2013, the Decision Support Department is designed to provide data and analytics support, performance data and metrics monitoring, data training and capacity building, and external data compliance and oversight. The department is focused on providing timely, relevant, and strategic analytic support, so data becomes the driver and foundation of decision-making at all levels of the organization and ultimately supports student success at City Colleges. Staff and projects from the former Office of Research and Evaluation are now organized under and overseen by Decision Support.
