Robin We decided last year that the changes in what is supported by the new owner, in tech-support provided, and in pricing structure that we could not justify continuing to use SPSS. It was partly a financial decision but the drop in concern and increased troubles with reinstalling it on new computers (when old ones were taken out of service) were putting increasing stress on our IT resources. We also anticipated the drop in publisher support for a variety of reasons. Our students are now using several packages and concentrating on using R and macros in Excel to teach stats in our research methods sequence. Tim _______________________________ Timothy O.

It appears that first Pearson and now Cengage has cut their relationship with SPSS. As a community college, obviously we need to teach what the transfer institutions are asking us to teach and up until now it has been SPSS. We are wondering if these changes in terms of getting student editions will have any impact on the use of SPSS at four year colleges/universities. Any thoughts?
