[COPLAC-IR] COPLAC Data Profile 13-14 Collection- Revision (01/08/14)

Wed Jan 8 09:08:56 CST 2014

Hi everyone,

There has been a few additional questions raised about metrics within the
collection.  Here are the updates:

   - The race/ethnicity metric for number of BA degrees for Native
   American/ Alaskan Native was missing. - It has been added to the code book
   (new number 67 and all subsequent have been moved down one.)
   - There was a question related to all of the BA degrees (both
   race/ethnicity & majors) of should this include all of the major 1's or all
   majors (including double majors).  I have talked with Bill Spellman and
   Lynn Boyce regarding this issue.  We decided to include only major 1 within
   IPEDS.  (New numbers 63 to 77)

The code book and the web form have been updated.  The new code book is
reattached and the updated web link remains the same (
http://ow.ly/rFr3t).

A special thank you to Sara Maene from Shepherd for bringing up these
questions.

Thank you for your patience as we work through the revision to this
process.  If you have any other questions or clarification, please feel
free to send me an email or give me a call.

Hope that you have a great day!

~Elizabeth
