Committee Charges

Overall Charge: Work closely with the Curriculum, Advising and Academic Support, Living-Learning Communities and Enrollment and Marketing workstreams to identify present and future needs for data that help address their charges.

  • Conduct a thorough audit of our systems of record and primary data sources, including identifying any gaps in those systems and data repositories that are inhibiting robust data collection, data sharing, and data analysis.

  • Outline a detailed data governance model that will include both the individual roles for key positions at all levels and the standing committees that will ensure that our data efforts remain relevant and up-to-date.

  • Provide specific recommendations to improve data quality, including how institutional data is collected, secured, shared, and used for reporting and analysis.
