ITAC Data Governance Subcommittee
Data Governance Subcommittee
Institutional data is a critical University asset and consists of all data, excluding research data generated as work product, that is created, stored, sent, or received by any and all members of the University community. The amount of institutional data is expanding rapidly, and its potential value is increasing as new systems and technologies come into use. The University has set goals for institutional data, yet existing policies and procedures provide insufficient guidance on how the University can accomplish these goals in a responsible, compliant, and ethical manner. These goals include:
- Unlocking the potential of institutional data;
- Supporting innovation in the use of institutional data in education, research, and operations;
- Making institutional data broadly available to all who need it; and
- Advancing a culture of data-informed decision making.
The DGS will help achieve these goals by providing ITAC, the Office of the CIO, the Office of Policy Development and Management, the Office of Compliance, Investigations & Ethics, the University’s Privacy Officer and other key University units with expert advice and counsel on any and all matters related to the management, security and governance of enterprise data and related systems, to include identifying the need for new or revised policies, procedures, and controls for institutional data as well as best practices to protect individual privacy.
