  Since the 2005 American Statistical Association's (ASA) endorsement of the
Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE)
College Report, changes in the statistics field and statistics education have
had a major impact on the teaching and learning of statistics. We now live in a
world where "Statistics - the science of learning from data - is the
fastest-growing science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) undergraduate
degree in the United States," according to the ASA, and where many jobs demand
an understanding of how to explore and make sense of data. In light of these
new reports and other changes and demands on the discipline, a group of
volunteers revised the 2005 GAISE College Report. The updated report was
endorsed by the Board of Directors of the American Statistical Association in
July 2016. To help shed additional light on the revision process and subsequent
changes in the report, we review the report and share insights into the
committee's thoughts and assumptions.
