A paper from the American Council on Education (ACE) is intended as a primer on how to further infuse data-informed decision making into the college presidency and other senior leadership positions. It explores opportunities and challenges related to data analytics in four key areas—student outcomes, equity and inclusion, resource strategies, and infrastructure—and also includes examples of promising practices by institutions and systems that are leveraging data in novel and effective ways.
