Summary
Digital technologies are ubiquitous at institutions of higher education. Their use generates enormous amounts of data that could improve teaching and learning processes. However, the accidental leakage or intentional misuse of such data can create severe privacy and safety risks for students and others at these institutions. Thus, the goal of this project is to develop a systematic method for data governance that incorporates formal risk assessments and proactive mitigation techniques. The project seeks to leverage institutional data to advance science without harming data subjects. This pr
