Data Retention and Disposition
University data is crucial to the operation of the University in support of its academic mission. However, retention of data beyond its useful purpose or legal requirements poses risk to data subjects as well as to the University. The Privacy Office has developed guidance to assist Data Stewards in determining appropriate retention and disposition of university data.
