  • Standard for Administrative Data Management September 2021
    Standard for Administrative Data Management September 2021 Standard for Administrative Data Management Purpose University Policy 7100, the Administrative Data Management and Access Policy vests responsibilities in the university’s Chief Information Officer, data trustees, data stewards, other supportive roles, and all data users. The purpose of this standard is to specify the university personnel who occupy the roles of data trustees and data stewards, so that members of the university community who may have a need to access data, make corrections, or better understand data definitions and data sensitivity will know to whom to direct their requests. Scope This standard covers the described data in all forms, whether electronic or paper, and whether the data are discrete elements or narrative documents. Although the standard is not limited to data stored electronically, may university data systems of record are electronic databases, on-premise or off-premise (“cloud”). Maintenance Maintenance of this standard is assigned to the Vice President for Information Technology and Chief Information Officer in collaboration with all university vice presidents. The standard will be frequently updated as data trustees provide updates for their data domain area. All updates should be submitted to the Executive Director of IT Policy at [email protected]. Standard The designations of responsibility in the standard generally mirror that of the university organization chart, since the managerial span of control is required to exercise the data administration responsibilities. There are instances, however, where authority is delegated specifically for data administration outside the organizational hierarchy, or where shared authority is requirement for data administration. Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests are coordinated by the Senior Associate Vice President for University Relations (see the University FOIA Policy).

  • CYBER SECURITY Not Llamas and Pigs
    FOR THE UP AND COMING AND ALREADY ARRIVED $3 • Vol II: ISSUE 6 • MARCH 10 not llamas and pigs, but ALPACAS and HOGS GIS Man SPRING COLORS Making the Grade Despite Cutbacks? CYBER SECURITY climbing the paper ladder Nancy Gray, Hollins University WELCOME to the FRONT When Harvard University President Drew Faust recently outlined the challenges facing his university, he counted the loss of nearly $2 billion in its endowment and the fact that students “can’t read more than two sentences at a time” among his greatest concerns. That last is a swipe at social media and text messaging. Meanwhile, at Hollins University President Nancy Gray has led the school’s endowment through an impressive performance against a tempestuous stock market (Page 12) and its students can, indeed, read. And write. And communicate in the ways that will be essential in the future. The point: not all is lost with either the money or the education on this generation of students and administrators. While liberal arts institutions move steadily in rough seas, the “career schools” like National College and ECPI still say what we need immediately are trained workers. That’s right, too. So’s the notion that the state’s four-year and two-year schools serve the fundamental purpose of making education affordable—that’s a relative term these days. Innovation, often lost on the educational elite, is the rule these days. Look at Liberty University where thinking outside the norm is running neck and neck with Jesus. Or at the Higher Education Center in Roanoke, or at the community colleges where enrollment is up, financing is down and creativity is hitting a peak.

    FOR THE UP AND COMING AND ALREADY ARRIVED $3 • Vol II: ISSUE 7 • APRIL 10 vbFRONT.com our Radio Story A Careful BANKRUPTCY! BUSINESSBUSINESSand the EnvironmentEnvironment A New Generation of TREE-HUGGING SUITS meta- Gwen Mason, materials Clean Valley Council WELCOME to the FRONT You have to wonder why any publication would print an “environmental issue” or, as most call it, a “green issue.” It’s counterintuitive to the degree that it points a big neon finger at the publication saying: “Polluter.” Environmental Defense has estimated that producing one ton of fresh uncoated paper (about 90 percent of the paper used in the U.S. for printing and writing) uses three tons of wood, 19,075 gallons of water, and generates 2,278 pounds of solid waste. Ink is often a water pollutant. Not so “green,” huh? With that in mind, Valley Business FRONT’s April, 2010 Environmental Issue is producing none of that waste, cutting none of those trees and not using all that water. It’s a digital issue and the carbon footprint—though not zero, since almost nothing has no impact—is minimal. This is a one-time statement for us and you’ll have that lovely little slick European-style magazine on your desk again the first week of May. But we thought we’d show you what the future looks like, a future where environmental consciousness changes some dynamics—like printing. Every month, we hear from readers, “I love the look, the feel and the smell of your magazine” and that is music to our ears.
