8 groups, counting unknown
Totals will contain duplicates

Suggestions from the floor ?
Crosswalking
For longitudinal studies r/e will not be
consistently collected
•
Will need to crosswalk old categories to
new or new to old
•
Do this any way you want, but please
document!
•
Crosswalk Old to New
Hispanic  Hispanic ethnicity,
unknown race
•
Asian/Pacific Islander  Asian, not
Hispanic
•
Native American  American
Indian/Alaskan Native, not Hispanic
•
•
White, African American  no change
Crosswalk New to Old
•Hispanic
ethnicity  Hispanic race
•Asian
or Native Hawaiian/Pacific
Islander, not Hispanic  Asian/Pacific
Islander
•American
Indian/Alaskan Native, not
Hispanic  Native American
Crosswalk New to Old
races, not Hispanic  choose
at random from the races selected,
•Multiple
or choose Native American, African
American, Asian, White in that order
Other considerations: Local DB
Local database structures or flat file
extracts will need to be modified.
Suggestion: Any table/file with a personrecord and r/e info in one column now
ideally will have 6 columns plus the IPEDS
group
You may also want to keep the old r/e
code on the record as well.
Other considerations - Subgroups
•Subgroups
will be collected for faculty &
staff only
•All
subgroups map up to one of the
standard race/ethnicity groups
•Databases
or flat files: will you store both
characters or just one?
Other considerations: what will we
count as underrepresented or
minority?
•Anyone
who checked any of the groups
historically considered underrepresented
•What
about Native Hawaiian & Pacific
Islander?
Other considerations:
“Self-identified” label
Reports using an expression like “Selfidentified Race/Ethnicity” probably
should be changed since faculty/staff who
refuse to submit R/E info will have their
R/E information entered by them based
on visual identification.
Timing Issues
•
Admission applications starting now
