2. Status Update on formation of Data User Groups – round table
Elora Paik – Larry Hamilton is still considering HR’s data user groups and will bring it before Executive Sponsors.
Monty Young – They are in discussion with Dawn Neuman and faculty departments to determine the best steps for getting volunteers. He believes that a focus on “space planning” would generate the most interest.
Kivanc Oner – He has determined that the data user group for the Graduate College is primarily SIS users. For the Research component they need to determine “who” their users are. Most of the reports are used by the Higher Executive offices.
- Kivanc also mentioned that they will be launching, in a few months, a new system for faculty called Time and Effort Reporting.
Geetha Sendhil – At this time they haven’t moved any closer to establishing data user groups. She recognizes the need for input from Student Life. Also, Rebel Card data has users who need to have a forum.
David Ellison – He has determined that Student Accounts in primarily a SIS user group.
Norm Bedford - At this time they haven’t moved any closer to establishing data user groups. Both David and Norm participate in the Enrollment Management Team.
Christina Drum – IAP is unique because it is a data user.
Don Diener – OIT is similar to IAP because it creates limited data and is primarily a user of others’ data. OIT is also developing a directory project. As that evolves, a directory user group might be involved.
Group all agreed that they need further guidance from Executive Sponsors to determine direction and policy level.
