- Postsecondary Data Infrastructure: What is Possible TodayO'Hara, Amy (The Institute for Higher Education Policy, 2019-06-01)Data sharing across government agencies allows consumers, policymakers, practitioners, and researchers to answer pressing questions.

This report describes best practices in use today and the emerging technology that could further protect future data systems and creates a new framework, the “Five Safes”, for controlling data access and use. To support decisions facing students, administrators, evaluators, and policymakers, a postsecondary infrastructure must support cycles of data discovery, request, access, analysis, review, and release.
