Framing Our Work:
The Culture of Evidence
The “culture of evidence” concept refers to a
condition or environment that has at its most
fundamental level of operation, individual,
departmental, divisional, and university
decision making that is driven by clearly
defined objectives and based on data that are
valid and reliable.
