Managing IU Data

Data governance is a collection of activities which help to ensure the proper management of institutional data, a strategic asset at IU. Our data governance program is led by the University Data Management Council (UDMC). The UDMC promotes a culture of data stewardship, consistent practices, and adherence to IU standards and policies.
