•
Non-Hispanic multi-race (1)

Non-Hispanic unknown race (1) Nine total categories
2. Count in Each Group Checked
•
Useful if you need to report # who self identify as a particular r/e
•
Example: If a person selected Hispanic and Asian, count him/her in both groups
•
8 groups, counting unknown Totals will contain duplicates

•
9 IPEDS categories
•
Two additional columns for anyone who checked :
•
Black/African American
•
Native American/Alaskan Native
•
Confusing to the reader

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
unknown race Hispanic ethnicity,
•
Asian/Pacific Islander
Hispanic Asian, not
•
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
•
Multiple races, not Hispanic
choose at random from the races selected, 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 person record 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 “Self identified 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.
