A collaboration between the Association for Institutional Research, EDUCAUSE and the National Association of College and University Business Officers — funded in part by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation — is continuing its efforts to improve the way higher education institutions use data to drive student success. The educational and research groups have been working together since 2019 when they released “The Joint Statement on Analytics,” which calls for colleges and universities to use student data to develop “new, innovative approaches for improved student recruiting, better student outcomes, greater institutional efficiency and cost-containment, and much more.”
