Data Steward Appointment Process

The vice president for each business area will, through their departmental computing manager, assign a Data Steward for their administrative area. The term of appointment for a Data Steward is undefined; however, brief terms will not enhance this process. As with any role or position, planning for replacement is facilitated by the Data Steward sharing knowledge of their responsibilities with others serving as data analysts.

Information Technology's Data Services will be responsible for providing the training an individual needs to fill the role of Data Steward. Coordination of the Data Stewards as a group will come from the Data Administrator in Information Technology and is intended to promote consistent data management across the University.
