Report Standards

The Data Governance Council is charged with establishing standards for university reports that make use of the data under its purview. Report standards have been developed to promote clear communication about data and to empower data users to meet their responsibilities to:

2a. recognize that institutional data and information derived from it are potentially complex. Make efforts to understand the source, meaning and proper use of the data through training sessions, utilizing data dictionaries and knowledge of supporting system processes; and

2b. include information about the data source and criteria when distributing data, reports and ad hoc analytics to guard against misinterpretations of data.
