Comparison of Old Reporting Standards to New Reporting Standards
Thank you for your interest in the University of Florida’s Race and Ethnicity Codes Transition process. Changes mandated by the U.S. Department of Education will impact the collection, reporting and use of race/ethnicity data across campus. The intent of the changes is to provide a wider range of options for self-identification. These changes will affect the university in a variety of ways, including how we record, store and report data on everything from employee records to law enforcement statistics.
Given the widespread use of race/ethnicity data on campus, a transition team formed to plan for the data collection and reporting challenges that the process would entail. The team's final report, which includes more detailed information about the changes and the technical elements of UF's response, is available here: Race and Ethnicity Code Transition Team Report and Recommendations
As part of the process, students, faculty, and staff are being asked to self-identify using the new two-question format.
Faculty and staff may self-identify by going to my.ufl.edu after October 2, 2009 and navigating to MyUFL > My Self Service > UF Ethnicity & Race Survey. Click here to see a video demonstration.
Students are asked to participate by going to ISIS at www.isis.ufl.edu after October 15, 2009 and following the resurvey link.
1. Categories and Definitions
