Data Governance

Brief Description

The Data Governance Program serves to ensure that data is managed as a material asset.  The university has established a data governance program with the goals of ensuring that data provides value, meets compliance requirements, and risks are managed appropriately.  Given that poor handling of data poses a risk to the university, it is necessary to define roles and responsibilities for certain types of data.

Reason for Policy

Define roles and responsibilities to enable the university to exercise positive control over the processes and methods used to handle data and assure that university employees and administrative processes have appropriate access to reliable, authentic, accurate, and timely data.  Data governance authority rests ultimately with the president and chancellors; this policy defines roles and responsibilities to assist the president and chancellors.
