Data Governance is the framework of policies and procedures by which the university manages the security, integrity, availability, and use of the university's institutional data. Everyone who touches institutional data has a role to play in ensuring those data are used appropriately.
Data governance is:
Data Quality and Validity
Improving data usability, quality, and responsible use through strategic data stewardship.
Data Literacy and User Support
Creating and maintaining structures that support data discovery, definitions, knowledge sharing, community engagement, training, and education.
Data Accessibility and Usability
Enabling and ensuring access and availability of data needed for diverse university functions.
Data Accountability and Transparency
Protecting sensitive information by ensuring appropriate access to restricted data sources.
