The Council of Recognized Accrediting Commissions (C-RAC), of which HLC is a member, recently convened a National Data Summit to explore opportunities to improve existing data frameworks to better promote transparency and outcomes-oriented accountability in higher education.

Following the summit, C-RAC released a new environmental scan of the higher education data landscape, “Accountability with Integrity: A National Framework for Data-Informed Education Accountability.” The scan engaged more than 30 higher education data experts spanning diverse ideological viewpoints to present an unbiased review of the current landscape and identify potential recommendations for future action.
