Data Governance Council

The Data Governance Advisory Committee began meeting in April 2022. The committee’s responsibilities involve recommending business practices for data governance that span data steward areas and ensuring these align with university strategic objectives.

The group is currently focusing on enterprise data, which is a critically important asset to the university, since time and resources are needed to safely manage and share the data through careful and effective data modeling, storage, and access provisioning.

Data Governance Committee

The DGAC initially responded to the Data Governance Committee’s report, which provided recommendations for future actions for data governance success, along with a status of the projects initiated under the Committee’s guidance.

Recommendations

Once available, recommendations will be posted on the Data Stewardship Resources webpage.

Members

Individuals serving on the committee are respected and trusted individuals with experience and understanding of university data and business practices at a high level, as well as the potential impact of decisions made in data governance.
