Abstract	This 60-Second survey (Appendix A) was a partnership between the American Council on Education (ACE) and AACRAO. Colleges and universities have invested in the use of data analytics to improve student outcomes, close attainment gaps, and improve organizational performance. As environmental conditions continue to evolve, the pressure to do so in more cohesive and sophisticated ways will grow. For institutional leaders to facilitate the modernization of campus data infrastructures they need a more holistic understanding of the opportunities and challenges in doing so. Both AACRAO and ACE are interested in gaining an understanding of the perceptions of data quality, and the current state of data use across institutions and position types. The survey received responses from 878 individuals representing 759 institutions and several combinations of control, size and type (Appendix B) and countries (Appendix C). Similar to other 60-Second survey reports, this represents an overview of the data and not a statistical analysis. Among the key findings were: (1) opinions about data use and quality varied by position title; (2) in the aggregate, benchmarking data, external student outcome data and student engagement data are used by more than half; (3) almost two-thirds rate their data as "Excellent" or "Good"; (4) most senior executives are viewed as either "Supportive" or "Very supportive" of the use of data to inform decision making; and (5) data use for informed decision making is viewed as effective by most.
