Data Governance Steering Council

The SFA Data Governance Steering Council strives to create and maintain a successful data governance program in order to identify SFA data assets, exercise authority and management over those assets, and establish related processes and procedures.

The SFA Data Governance Steering Council intends to fulfill its function by:

• Engaging numerous stakeholder groups across the university,
• Leveraging existing SFA resources,
• Utilizing Texas Department of Information Resources tools for implementing agency data governance programs,
• Creating new SFA resources, and
• Communicating and maintaining the necessary processes and procedures for effective and efficient data governance.

Data Standards Team

The Data Standards Team establishes the University Guidelines for Data Standards, Data Integrity, and Data Security related to the administrative software system. Specifically, these guidelines create measures for the protection, access, and use of Stephen F. Austin State University data that is electronically maintained in Banner. The guidelines define responsibilities of users who input and access Banner data. Divisions or units may have individual guidelines that supplement, but do not replace or supersede, these guidelines. A data standards team comprised of each data management area will conduct a thorough review of these guidelines at least every three years. Additionally, the DS Team will consider any updates needed as policies and requirements change. If edits are deemed appropriate by a majority of the DS Team members, the guidelines and standards modifications will be documented and implemented in an updated version.

Current guidelines for data standards, data integrity, and data security may be accessed on the Banner launch page.
