PittWire; Pitt Sets Course for Student Success With Inaugural Advanced Analytics Summit
"Ann Cudd, 
provost and senior vice chancellor at Pitt, said that as advanced 
analytics moves forward at the University, two topics of focus include 
identifying whether the use of data is universally good and what 
potential dangers exist, and how to keep the human components to avoid 
generalizing...
 While the vast amounts of information may be overwhelming, data privacy
 is seen as a key fundamental of building and maintaining trust between 
students and universities.
“It is vitally important that the storage of data be secure,” 
[Stephen] Wisniewski [vice provost for data and information at the University of Pittsburgh] said. “To that end, experts in the field collectively work to
 understand and address the ever-changing technology landscape to 
protect sensitive data.”
Wisniewski said that Pitt’s focus on advanced analytics has one driving principle.
“The primary reason is to better serve our students. That is our 
ultimate goal,” he said.  “That’s what we want out of this. We want them
 to have the best experience possible and we’re using analytics to help 
that process.”"
