A recent Wonkhe and Solutionpath report and a subsequent article from Rachel Maxwell and Steve Briggs have shown just how vital academic support functions are in higher education. These reports highlight the need for specialised relational skills to connect students and their institutions. The Wonkhe research indicates that academic support functions are increasingly stretched in UK universities. Institutions rely heavily on personal tutors, and hope that timely use of data can fill the gap.
