In 2018, the university initiated a Data Governance effort—sponsored jointly by the Office of the Vice President for Information Technology and Chief Information Officer and the Office of the Provost—to increase access to and usability of institutional data while minimizing risk to the institution.
In 2019, a cross-campus working group developed recommendations and a Case for Change for updating the previous data governance model to support the latest data environment at U-M.
