AIRE Vision

AIRE has adopted KU's IRISE values of Integrity, Respect, Innovation, Stewardship and Excellence. 

Who we aspire to be:

We are a fully integrated data, analytics, and effectiveness office delivering our services and functions across all KU campuses with integrity, respect, and excellence. ​

We are recognized as the University of Kansas’s single source of truth for prioritized institutional data, consistently delivering high-quality, trusted information grounded in integrity and stewardship.​​

We offer a uniquely holistic view of the University drawing on deep knowledge of data, information, business processes, institutional context and innovation to make connections others cannot.​

We are a value-add partner to every unit at KU, trusted for our strategic insights, data analysis, decision support, and operational expertise. We don’t just respond; we proactively consult, ask critical questions, and help shape institutional direction, guided by respect and stewardship.

How we aspire to work: 

We operate as one cohesive unit, with consistent business practices, policies, procedures, prioritization, transparent decision-making processes and the shared values of integrity, respect, innovation, stewardship and excellence.

We create and maintain agile, clearly defined strategies and roadmaps for all core AIRE functions, embedding measurable objectives and performance metrics to track progress and ensure alignment with KU’s institutional priorities.

We actively lead and sustain a campus-wide data culture where constituents understand what data is available, how to assess its quality and nuances, and how to use it effectively and responsibly.

We regularly ask why we are doing things and what they serve, ensuring alignment with strategic goals and outcomes.
