We, at the Association know what is going to happen to most of US colleges many years ago.  In particular, to those who have not applied data-driven in their decision making process.  We have tried hard to share this new knowledge to the college administrators. It pretty sad, that for whatever reasons, decision makers are less eager to make changes in their organization.  Making a change (singular) is hard.  Therefore, more likely making changes (plural) are even impossible.  Especially, if the changes will touch sensitive issues such as the campus culture.  In the free-market world, there are rewards and unfortunately the opposite of them as well.  As the resources get squeezed, then one will expect there will be more unfavorable impacts will occur on higher institutions such as what has just happened at Chicago State University.  The first step that these institutions can do in the new sea of competitions and limited resources is to have a team of IRI analytics, data scientist, data miners or big data experts. The traditionalists may look at the past, but the IRI analytics enables one to see the future and beyond.
