Data Classification Initiative will be featured at August's Badger Data Network
Starting in 2027, UW–Madison will rely on UW System policy 1031, Information Security: Data Classification in order to streamline operations, strengthen compliance, and lower security risk without having a separate, university-level data classification policy. In August, we will learn more about the Data Classification Initiative.
The Badger Data Network brings together data, analytics, visualization, and business intelligence enthusiasts, promoting the use of institutional data to support progress and implement strategic initiatives. The group meets on the third Wednesday of every month from 10:00 to 10:50 am.
All are welcome.
The 2025-2026 Data Digest, showcasing key UW–Madison metrics, is now available
The Data Digest provides comprehensive information about students, faculty, staff, budget, and expenditures.
It is possible to measure many of the attributes of the university in a variety of different ways, depending on other definitions. However, the official numbers and definitions are often an important point of reference.
The Data Digest is published annually, around March of each year and shares many of UW–Madison's key metrics.
