Building Trust Through Data Governance
Reliable data is about more than producing reports.
IREDM leads the University’s data governance program, working with data owners, data stewards, data trustees, subject-matter experts, and technology teams to establish shared definitions, improve data quality, and promote consistent reporting practices.
These efforts help ensure University data is trusted, well managed, and used consistently across campus, giving departments greater confidence in the information they use to make decisions.
A Partner in Data-Informed Decision-Making
Answering a data question often involves more than simply producing a number.
The IREDM team works with campus partners to understand the question behind the request, identify the appropriate data sources, explain definitions and metrics, and recommend existing dashboards or reports whenever possible.
Whether you are monitoring enrollment, evaluating a program, preparing an accreditation report, analyzing budgets, or planning for the future, IREDM can help turn institutional data into useful and trustworthy information.

Before submitting a request, think about:

Providing this context helps the team identify the appropriate data sources and determine whether an existing report or dashboard already meets your needs.
