Editorial

Welcome to the October 2019 edition of The Institutional Researcher.

Dear All

This issue includes a number of reports published by The Chronicle of Higher Education. Topics include ‘The Rise of Performance-Based Funding’, ‘The Right Mix of Academic Programs’, and ‘Building the Streamlined College’.

My hope is that these reports will help colleagues understand the different models that measure success and improve student performance. In order to move toward efficiencies and greater optimisation, universities need to streamline their operations not only through the cutting of expenses, but also through creating engagement, supporting change, and maintaining constant communication and feedback.

Happy reading!

Lizzie Li

Editor, The Institutional Researcher
