Digital Measures is the database for TTU faculty credentials, scholarly activity, and faculty evaluations.

The Office of Planning and Assessment (OPA) is an integral part of faculty credentialing at Texas Tech. The Digital Measures software suite allows faculty to track academic and professional activities electronically. Keeping the Digital Measures account up-to-date maintains TTU’s faculty roster for SACSCOC reporting as well as a faculty member’s HB 2504 compliance. Faculty scholarly activity is also tracked through DM, and some evaluative reports come from DM.

OPA works to ensure that all instructors of record are qualified to teach in their instructional discipline. OPA's efforts, combined with all departments across TTU's campus, confirmed compliance with SACSCOC during the 2025 reaffirmation process. Digital Measures boasts a customizable reporting suite with templates for faculty Annual Faculty reports, Department- and College-level scholarly contributions, and provides summative results for faculty end-of-year activities.

SACSCOC 6.2.a Faculty Qualifications

For each of its educational programs, the institution justifies and documents the qualifications of its faculty members.

It is the institution’s obligation to justify and document the qualifications of its faculty. Determining the acceptability of faculty qualifications requires judicious use of professional judgment, especially when persons do not hold degrees in the teaching discipline or are qualified based on criteria other than their academic credentials. Similarly, persons holding a degree at the same or lower level than the level at which the course is taught require additional qualifications and the application of professional judgment. Additional justification is needed for these cases as compared to cases where the academic credentials are a “perfect match” for the teaching assignments. Appropriate qualifications may also differ depending on whether a course is generally transferable to other institutions; qualifications for teaching nontransferable technical courses depend heavily on professional experience and appropriate certifications or work experience.
