The Data Integrity and Stewardship website serves as the University of Nebraska's central resource for promoting transparency, consistency, and trust in institutional data. It brings together data definitions, documentation, frequently asked questions, and information about our data ecosystem to provide shared understanding and context for how key university data are collected, managed, interpreted, and used.
Data Stewardship and Integrity
Originally developed to support the documentation needs of the Program Indicators report, this site has evolved into a broader resource for data stewardship across the institution. By providing clear definitions, business context, and supporting guidance, we aim to foster confidence in institutional reporting and enable more informed decision-making. As the University's data landscape continues to evolve, this site will serve as a foundation for ongoing data efforts and a shared commitment to the responsible use of data.
Program Indicator Strategic Alignment
Instructional and research program indicators were selected based on their alignment with campus goals and mission. Instructional indicators align with the academic mission and efficiency and research indicators elevate institutional reputation and impact.
