Access to data is the foundation of a data-informed decision culture. However, some IR Offices report limited or restricted access to a number of institutional data sets that might prove valuable in researching predictors of student success. From the National Survey of IR Offices, we learn that 57% of IR Offices have limited access to student class attendance and 46% have limited access to student activities data.
Do these results hold true for your institution?
