Shared Pacific Data Principles

This Shared Pacific Data Principles application process has been designed for Universities New Zealand by Komiti Pasifika to:

  • Guide safe, responsible, and culturally appropriate use of data
  • Ensure data use is carefully considered
  • Ensure data practices occur in good faith and in alignment with Pacific Peoples communities
  • Provide a framework for accountability and oversight

Enhancement Theme

The Cycle 6 Academic Audit includes an Enhancement Theme in which universities collectively address an issue which is important to individual universities and of national significance.  The topic for the Cycle 6 Enhancement Theme is “Access, outcomes and opportunity for Māori students and for Pasifika students”. An Enhancement Theme Steering Group has been formed to guide and oversee theme activites and progress. Luamanuvao Dame Winnie Laban and Tasileta Teevale are Komiti Pasifika's representatives on this committee.
