What is Data Governance?
Data governance is a collaborative effort, and we encourage university staff and faculty to contact the Data Governance Advisory Committee with any ideas, feedback, or interest at datagovernance@georgetown.edu
Georgetown University is committed to robust data governance that allows university stakeholders to accurately and swiftly use data for reporting, analysis, and forecasting.
Effective data governance ensures accurate and consistent data that is easily understood. To reach that goal, structures, tools, and processes are developed to ensure that the value of the university’s data can be fully realized.
