Diversity Update 2010 September

Equity Scorecard Framework AccessExcellence Institutional Receptivity Retention Equity in Educational Outcomes The Equity Scorecard was developed by Dr. Estela Mara Bensimon at the Center for Urban Education, University of Southern California ( Each of the four perspectives has an objective. From this objective we can: -Measure baseline performance -Set an improvement target -Work towards equity in educational outcomes.

Identities for Analysis This presentation is limited to identities for which we have quantitative information, including:  Race/ethnicity  Income level  First-generation in college  Gender  Geographic diversity. Information is not systematically available for other groups that are important to inclusive excellence.

From 2000 to 2010  4.9 percentage point increase in Minority Enrollment  3.9 percentage point increase in Targeted Minority Enrollment Access: Enrollment Targeted Minorities include African American, Native American, Hispanic/Latino/a, Southeast Asian (Cambodians, Laotians, Vietnamese, and Hmong). Minorities include targeted minorities as well as Other Asians and Native Hawaiians. International students are not counted for targeted minority collections.

Race/Ethnic Categories: Students  Continued terminology from Plan 2008  Useful for national comparisons  Excludes all Asians, useful for national peer comparisons. Targeted Minorities include: » African American » Native American » Hispanic/Latino/a » Southeast Asian (Cambodians, Laotians, Vietnamese, and Hmong) Minorities include: » Targeted Minority categories » Other Asians » Native Hawaiians Underrepresented Minorities include: » African American » Native American » Hispanic/Latino/a » Native Hawaiian Students self-identify their race/ethnicity at the time of application. International students are not counted in any of these collections.

Access: Enrollment Reporting Methodologies for Race/Ethnicity Information The relatively new ability to indicate multiple race/ethnic values results in a much richer picture of student diversity but data reporting is more complicated. To deal with these complexities, methodology options for data reporting have emerged. The method that is most appropriate depends on for what purpose the data will be used. The table below describes the features of each method and shows how the methods are similar and different from each other. Reporting FeaturePrimaryFederalCount All Results in single count of students   Prioritizes Hispanic/Latina(a) over other values  Creates new categories that are not reported by students themselves  Displays race/ethnic values only for domestic (non international) students  Displays ALL students who indicate a particular race/ethnicity  Prioritizes some race/ethnicities over others  Used in external data reporting and rankings 

Transfer students are more likely to enroll at UW-Madison than their new freshmen counterparts. This is especially true of resident transfers.
