Governance & Notifications

Overview

Data Governance

The Office of Decision Support relies on the involvement of campus leadership for guidance on how data can benefit the University, on the community of data users for advice on what information is valuable to them, and on the University data custodians to develop processes and policies to ensure that all critical data is managed correctly and consistently. By facilitating communication among these constituencies, through various governance channels, ODS is a partner in promoting a culture of shared responsibility for data as an institutional asset.
