There was some discussion about all terms data and student mobility. Members recognized that there may be some difficulty tracking students between quarter and semester schools. The subcommittee proposed the following principles to guide the development of reports and data access policies and procedures, recognizing that reporting and access will need to be addressed in stages and that improvements will need to be made continuously along the way. Continuous quality improvement to better serve students. Data needs to serve campus decision makers via appropriate research protocols.
Data needs to provide legislators and the public with important information.
The subcommittee said these principles can be accomplished through user friendliness, context, and protection of student confidentiality. It is the group's mission to preserve the confidentiality of student records while protecting the use of such records for research purposes. Notes submitted by Amber Stephens.
