Data Governance at CWRU
There is an increasing demand for accessing raw data and valuable data insights for decision-making at all levels of our organizational structure. This is especially true as data structures evolve and enterprise technology systems are replaced with new systems. Currently, we do not have an infrastructure for the education of data literacy or the policies and procedures for ensuring our organizational data assets are collected, reported, cataloged, stored, and shared in line with data governance, compliance, and security best practices.
Data governance can help us manage data assets in a thoughtful, collaborative manner through an institutional lens with strategic alignment. The CWRU Data Governance Committee (comprised of Faculty and Staff), in conjunction with the offices of Institutional Research and Data Management, Analytics, and Visualization, is responsible for developing and implementing a comprehensive data governance program for the University. The ultimate goal is creating and fostering data literacy and a strategy for data management, architecture, and institutional analysis.
