By comparing ourselves to a group of referent institutions, we can identify areas of distinctiveness and benchmark our performance over time. In 2022, the Beyond Boundaries Steering Committee (BBSC) identified 23 private, not-for-profit institutions to replace the referent group established in 2015 and previously used to assess the strategic plan's metrics. The BBSC collaborated with the Office of Institutional Research on a cluster analysis which used data from publicly available sources. The BBSC recommended a list of peer and aspirational schools and sought feedback from the University Academic Senate, Staff Senate, and University Leadership Council in spring 2022. In summer 2022, the peer and aspirant group was approved by the Executive Leadership. This new group replaces the 22 referent institutions previously used to benchmark the Beyond Boundaries strategic plan.
