There are a couple of challenges at play: 1. Systems in higher Ed often do not talk and departments tend to be siloed and have drastically different goals and objectives. 2. There are a lot of privacy concerns as most of the data is students data. In addition to this, I question what the end goal of the data analysis is? What is the value for a not-for-profit? The goal is going to be based on the department as a college doesn’t have the same profit motive. The individual departments typically don't have the resources to do deep data analysis.
