| How to Protect Student Data
|
|
Collecting student data comes with the responsibility to protect it, requiring many leaders to adopt new data governance policies. Data governance consists of establishing university-wide protocols around the ownership, definitions, usage, storage, protection, and destruction of university data — including data on students.
Student data is often gathered and maintained across various departments from student and academic affairs to IT and institutional research. College leaders must decide what sort of data infrastructure best suits their institution’s needs and budget.
Using Student Data Responsibly covers how institutions can collect, protect, analyze, and act on student data in a responsible way and offers advice on what existing resources colleges can tap into to ensure the financial sustainability of their efforts over the long term. |
