Abstract
"Gallup polling applies research acumen to higher education" is a podcast interview with Brandon Busteed, Executive Director of Gallup Education. Busteed discusses how the powerful data maintained by Gallup can be applied to higher education to help address the issues of value and accountability. Specifically, Gallup’s ability to gather information regarding career engagement and well-being can be of great use as institutions of higher education seek to demonstrate success with behavioral economic indicators. Mr. Busteed suggests traditional economic measures or outputs are not enough to meet American’s current expectations of postsecondary education.
Interview facilitation, commentary and discussion presented by Kathryn Dodge, Alison Griffin, and Elise Scanlon of Radio Higher Ed.
