PVAMU

Data Governance

Data Governance at Prairie View A&M University is the intentional oversight of the policies, roles, and processes that guide the security, quality, access, and use of institutional data. PVAMU recognizes that data is a strategic asset essential to student success, operational effectiveness, compliance, and data informed decision making.

Our Approach

To begin this effort the university has pulled together an Interim Data Governance Working Group, composed of senior representatives from across the University, brings together cross functional operational expertise to help shape, align, and operationalize data governance practices.

This group is intentionally collaborative, reflecting PVAMU’s shared responsibility for institutional data stewardship.

The Data Governance Council (DGC) serves as the leadership body guiding this work and overseeing Working Group activities. The Interim Data Governance Working Group is chaired by the Vice Provost for Institutional Research and Integrated Data Analytics, with the Chief Information Officer and the University Transformation Officer serving as Co-Chairs.

The Working Group serves as an advisory and operational body that:

  • Analyzes data issues and operational impacts across units
  • Develops recommendations, drafts definitions, and reviews data processes
  • Identifies risks, inconsistencies, and process gaps
  • Supports alignment of data practices across systems and units
  • Communicates outcomes and impacts to data owners
  • Collaborates to ensure PVAMU’s institutional data are accurate, consistent, secure, and reliable

All recommendations, standards, definitions, and proposed system changes are elevated by the Data Governance Council (DGC) for review, approval, and advancement to University administration.
