According to this article, "private data firms are quietly seizing control of global higher education, creating a power shift more profound than universities realize." I'm not sure how real these assertions are, but there's enough evidence out there to suggest that they might be. "The analytics-industrial complex has effectively achieved a form of regulatory capture over global higher education.... This represents a profound shift from public to private governance, where commercial entities increasingly determine educational standards and priorities without democratic accountability." I'd like to think that this isn't the case here in Canada, where universities are (mostly) public institutions, but in the U.S. and the U.K. these concerns may be more valid. I don't know.
