One Student Database

Accountability is a topic increasing in importance. With data becoming increasing easy to capture and analyze the push for one large database that contains all students, from elementary school to higher education, will intensify. This Inside Higher Ed article explores the issue a little and explains how the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation may have provided a path to a new solution.

Student Affairs staff and leaders in the field need to pay close attention to this issue in order to influence the type of data that is captured.
