Guiding Principles
Information must be recognized as valued: accurate information is key to improving education and critical for effective decisionmaking. Stakeholders must be able to rely on the accuracy of the information shared. Information must have clearly defined accountability: information shared will not violate any privacy or anti-trust policies- this is everyone’s responsibility. Quality must be defined for any piece of information across its life cycle: the quality standards will align closely with IUVA’s mission, vision, and committees and task forces.
