Higher education is awash with data with more coming every year. Much of this is due to
accountability reasons and growing interest from stakeholders (internal and external). New
technologies have increasingly allowed more powerful analytics and deeper dives into
data. However the increasing pressures and new technologies have brought significant
questions on how data is used and its relevance. This chapter examines how data is
used within higher education and an extended discussion of how it has been misused. The
chapter concludes with three suggestions on how institutions can do to reduce the likelihood
of the misuse of data and the role of institutional research could play in facilitating
its appropriate use.
