The Data Council was formed in 2004 to consider data access polices given rapidly increasing regulatory mandates in the area of protecting personal information (e.g., SB1386, HIPAA, Gramm-Leach-Bliley, in addition to existing statutes such as FERPA and the IPA). Comprised of major data stewards on campus - those who serve as "office of record" for various types of data - and representatives of campus data "consumers", the Council has been sharing local access policies for best practices and consistency across both financial/payroll data and student data. More recently, it has been working on a campuswide initiative involving issues of reducing retention of SSN and protecting what personally identifiable information the campus needs to keep.
