Data-driven modeling, action, and strategies have become popular, and the education community has witnessed increased interest in data-driven decision-making (DDDM). DDDM values and prioritizes decisions supported by high-quality, verifiable data that has been effectively processed and analyzed. The objective of our study is to describe the design, development, and implementation of a data-driven, evidence-based model of academic development in the context of CUNY Graduate School of Public Health and Health Policy (CUNY SPH) utilizing SMAART (Sustainability Multisector Accessible Affordable Reimbursable Tailored) model. The alignment of academic and student affairs within CUNY SPH brought with it several challenges. Defining roles and responsibilities across different student and academic affair units with a goal of collaborative leadership model and lack of meaningfulness were key challenges. It was important to listen to the experiences and recommendations of various individuals performing various functions in different capacities. A unified framework of key data indicators was needed to create a transparent and equitable model. An innovative interactive SMAART SPH dashboard designed, developed, and implemented to guide data-driven, evidence-based decision-making. Institutions can use a large amount of data from various sources to improve students’ learning experience, enhance research initiatives, support effective community outreach, and develop campus infrastructure to bring in sustainability.

“…Time invested in a course is not the only element of faculty workload, but it is an important element and one that, up until this point, has been the main focus of online education studies. To meet institutional requirements and standards, faculty must adequately allocate or manage time given to teaching, research, and service (Griffith and Altinay, 2020). Given that most tenure and promotion requirements include some mix of research, teaching, and service, we need to first increase our understanding of the distribution of these requirements based upon variances in types of institutions.…”

The research explores why some public affairs graduate programs choose to develop fully online degree offerings while others do not. The study attempts to address questions surrounding how different institutions and programs are pursuing degree offerings and the potential influence of faculty workload. The research utilizes a quantitative, cross-sectional design analyzing results from a survey on institutional and programmatic practices in workload, hiring, and degree offerings administered to primary points of contact within public affairs academic units from all institutions found in the US News World Report Graduate Programs in Public Affairs Rankings from 2019. Survey data is paired with program information from the accrediting body institutional member database. Findings indicate differences from both institutional and programmatic groupings do demonstrate workload measures have unique characteristics depending upon the type of institution and rank of the program. Further analysis discusses the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic on future public affairs programming.

“…[1][2][3][4][5] Issues related to faculty workload span across all levels of education and types of degree programs, and evidence-based strategies for measuring faculty workload have been discussed in higher education. [6][7][8][9] In health professions education, faculty workload is difficult to quantify because faculty responsibilities and activities vary widely. There have been several attempts in the health professions literature, mostly from nursing [10][11][12][13][14] and medicine, 15,16 and few in pharmacy, 1,2,4 to define and measure faculty workload.…”
