Federal Changes to Race/Ethnicity Classification

The US Department of Education has officially instituted new collection and reporting standards in regard to the classification of students, faculty and staff by race/ethnicity.  The changes will be instituted by 2010, however we will begin collecting and reporting data using the new standards as of Academic Year 2009-2010.  On this page are several documents containing information on the upcoming changes.
