Purpose

This cross-functional Committee is charged to establish and enforce policies, standards, and procedures to ensure the quality, security, and effective management of the University’s data assets.

These structures and procedures will ensure intentional decision-making about prioritizing administrative systems initiatives, monitor the information security strategy for the University, and institute diligence and accountability around institutional data.
