Proposed data and analytics initiatives Design a COPLAC metrics framework for research, planning, and branding purposes that best demonstrates the value added outcomes of a public liberal arts education. Replace the current COPLAC Data Profile report with a data warehouse based upon the new COPLAC metrics framework that permits insightful comparisons, not only between COPLAC member institutions, but also between sectors (COPLAC vs. non-COPLAC, public liberal arts vs. private liberal arts, etc.). Provide summary information (text, graphics) derived from the new COPLAC data warehouse that supports research, planning, and branding efforts.
