Many higher education institutions are grappling with challenges across the entire student lifecycle. With the current slide in enrollment being noted by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics as the steepest on record, operating models are under pressure. This is when Master Data Management can step in and revitalize how higher education operates and ensure better decision making.

In June Gallup performed their annual US Confidence in Institutions survey and released the results two weeks ago. I've posted a link in the Comments to their summary. One disturbing data point is the confidence in Higher Education. In 2015 57% of respondents responded a "Great Deal" or "Quite a Lot" when asked about the level of confidence they had in Higher Education Institutions. In 2019 this number had dropped to 48%, and in 2023 and 2024 now rests at 36%. While 36% may not be as low as some of the institutions in the data set, the rapid drop is troubling. I believe in higher education, but also recognize this as a pivotal moment where action is necessary to reverse this trend. A few ideas are below: 1. Align credentialing with independently verifiable instruments and assessments. (ie: Certification Tests) 2. Ensure that advisory and industry groups influence and are tightly integrated with workforce programming, not as an after thought. (BILT Model) 3. Develop pathways where there are multiple entry and exit points during the educational journey, not all paths need to result in an Associates / Bachelors. 4. Look for ways to ensure application of learning exists across the journey, including general education courses. 5. Remove the things that do not have impact, be real about difficult decisions, and transparent about data. I don't know what the crystal ball holds for next years report, but in it's current state, there isn't much room to wiggle.

Interesting examples of how data can affect decision-making, one where data was available and the other where data was expected to be delivered on time but was late. These come from the Education sector, but they illustrate a concept that applies across many sectors. https://lnkd.in/ewFGfJvZ

How Colleges Leverage Data to Retain Students as the Enrollment Cliff Looms The Enrollment Cliff – in the 2025 year, there will be fewer graduating high school seniors since the 1950’s. Higher Ed has known about this for years, but failed to prepare for it. They continued to build buildings and rely on donor angels as they did in the past. A true failure of Leadership in a Cocoon. The mahogany on the walls of the Presidents office could not protect them from this. Although, I do admire their integrity for incompetence. The looming enrollment cliff has many institutions focused not just on finding new students but also on better retaining those they have, turning to their data to identify students who could be at risk of dropping out. https://lnkd.in/e-YJJUff @collegepresidents @Universitypresidents @Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities @highered @highereducation Association of Independent California Colleges and UniversitiesUniversity Business CACUBO NACUBO @nationalcouncilforhighereducation WACUBO EACUBO Council on Higher Education @highereducationadministration
