In compliance with state and
federal reporting guidelines,
WKU modified race code
categories to include Native
Hawaiian/ Pacific Islander and
Two or More Races.
Additionally, the Hispanic
ethnicity overrides all other
categories. Because this new
placement method is not
comparable to previous terms,
no differences were
calculated.
