Analytic Maturity, Approaches to Equity Data, and Your Role as a Higher Education Practitioner

As Canadian institutions begin to confront the myriad challenges of the past two years it is vital that we begin to grapple with the cultivation, storage, and use of new approaches to and forms of data. Simultaneously, given the rapid state of change both in terms of who we enroll and the larger societal forces at play in terms of recognition and support of historically marginalized populations, the time to act is also now to help advance the missions and outcomes of our institutions.
