In recognition of the importance of data to improving operations and informing decision-making, the Data Governance Committee seeks to create a clear set of processes and procedures for accessing, using, and managing data.
The committee broadly aims to:
- Support a shared data culture on campus that values consistency, clarity, and quality.
- Establish accountability and stewardship of the College's data assets.
- Govern access to data, balancing departments' and individuals' needs with applicable laws and regulations, privacy, and sensitivity for personal data, while also weighing reputational risk.
- Resolve conflicts on data-related issues, including discrepant data definitions and complex access requests.
- Develop policies that address questions around the production, definition, and use of data.
