Bottom line
- The Data Governance Advisory Workgroup (DGAW) advises the Chancellor’s Office on data governance. It has “three chairs and 18 members with representation from across 13 statewide associations”, and meets quarterly.
- The Chief Information Systems Officers Association (CISOA) co-leads it.
- It is a working model of an advisory body with seats for each stakeholder group, and of testing standards on live platforms before a rule.
Background
The workgroup came from the Statewide Common Technology Platform (SCTP) Task Force, which “recommended a Statewide Data Management Transformation”. It first met in November 2024. See California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office.
Key claims
- Leads: “the Chancellor’s Office, CISOA, and The RP Group” (The Research and Planning Group).
- Purpose: “Ongoing advice and counsel to the Chancellor’s Office on community colleges’ information technology and data governance policy and operations.”
- The 13 associations include the Academic, Classified and Student Senates. They also include the associations of chief executives, business, human resources, instruction and student services officers, registrars and financial aid administrators.
- Chairs were “selected by the Chancellor’s Office and the Statewide Common Technology Platform Task Force. Members were nominated by leaders from their respective associations.”
- “Nine statewide platforms participated in the test”. The test “was intentionally structured to support learning and refinement rather than compliance.”
- Next: “Clarifying operating model elements such as roles, stewardship responsibilities, decision-making expectations, and update cadences”.
- The page links six meeting recaps as PDFs, November 2024 to February 2026.
Evidence and method
The Chancellor’s Office’s own page. The recap files carry “accenture” in their names, so a consultant may support the work. The page does not say so.
Limits
- No decisions, budgets or results.
