The Data Governance Program is aligned with the priorities established in the foundational initiatives of Lehigh's Strategic Plan, “Decision making informed by qualitative and quantitative data and analysis” and an “Organization of the future”. The Data Governance program's mission is to promote appropriate data use through planning, policy, and protocols to ensure data integrity and quality and to facilitate data-informed decision-making.
