Future Needs & Action Items

Definitions Ethnicity Codes – Need to align with IPEDS Non-Resident Alien (student on temporary visa) Black, non-Hispanic American Indian or Alaskan Native Asian or Pacific Islander Hispanic White, Non-Hispanic Unknown (currently unspecified minority)

Definitions Is there a need for clearer definitions, for example a definition of the ethnic categories? One possibility: Use “roll over” feature within the application Second possibility: Place definitions outside of the application on the side menu What needs defining?

Definitions Is everyone using the same CIPS for various program? (ie Fashion Merchandizing-is it or should it be ) How should CIP definitions be displayed? Are the “general” or “other” categories utilized more? (ie Agriculture Business & Management, General or Agriculture Business & Management, Other)

Definitions Are there too many CIPS? Is it too hard to place CIPS into the detailed categories? If so what do we lose if we eliminate CIPS?

Definitions What is Agriculture? Do we need more CIPS to accommodate “non agriculture” related programs housed in Schools of Agriculture? If Biology is a department in the School of Agriculture should we collect data on those students?

Definitions: CIPS not in current schema Genetics Graphic Design Marine Anthropologist Medical Anthropologist Packaging Science Retail Merchandising Social Work Sociologist Sociologist/Demographer Survey Research Biostatistics Viticulture Wildlife & Fisheries Zoology Pre Professional Studies Anthropologist/International Development Applied Design Criminal Justice & Social Work Design Communication Environmental Anthropologist Environmental Communications Environmental Psychologist Farrier Technology Forestry-Range Management Forestry-Recreation Management Forestry-Wildlife Management General (organismal)Biology General Biological Sciences General Biology
