Abstract
Equally important as the physical cyberinfrastructure components designed to facilitate the transmission and storage of data are the policies and procedures for how that data is managed. The purpose of this document is not to dictate a standard set of policies colleges and universities should adhere to for managing data but rather to provide an overview of some of the many issues and challenges that campus policymakers should consider when undertaking this task. The authors’ aim is to help initiate a campus-wide dialogue on this topic.
