This section is dedicated to Information Management, an essential step toward building a culture of responsible, ethical, and lawful data handling across the university.
Here, you'll find tools, guidance, and resources to support key aspects of information management, including data classification, data census efforts, and the regulations that shape how USU handles personal information.
These resources are intended to promote informed, compliant, and privacy-conscious practices across all departments—because effective data management protects not only the information itself, but the people it represents.
