Data Governance: Roles and Responsibilities
Several roles and responsibilities govern the management of, access to, and accountability for institutional data.
Data Governance Group
This group is responsible for creating and maintaining data governance resources and policies for the college in collaboration with Data Stewards and Data Trustees at the college. The five members are the Director of Institutional Research, Analysis, and Planning; the Director of Systems Development and Integration; the Registrar; the Assistant Dean of the Faculty for Strategy and Analysis; and the Director of Information Security, Privacy, and Compliance.
Data Trustees
Data Trustees are senior college officials (e.g., vice presidents) or their designees who have planning, policy-level, and management responsibility for data within their functional areas.
Data Stewards
Data Stewards are college officials who have direct operational-level responsibility for the management of one or more types of institutional data. Data Stewards are assigned by the Data Trustee.
Data Administrators
Data Administrators are individuals (outside of ILS) who are responsible for data collection and management and who have been granted authority to grant internal access to data from their functional area by the Data Steward and/or Data Trustees.
Data Users
Data Users are college units or individual college community members who have been granted access to institutional data in order to perform assigned duties or in fulfillment of assigned roles or functions within the college; this access is granted solely for the conduct of college business.
