<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">Hi everyone, <br><br>There has been a few additional questions raised about metrics within the collection. Here are the updates: </div>
<div class="gmail_default"><ul><li><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">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.) </font></li>
<li><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">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) </font></li>
</ul><div><font face="arial, helvetica, sans-serif">The code book and the web form have been updated. The new code book is reattached and the updated web link remains the same (</font><a href="http://ow.ly/rFr3t" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;text-decoration:none" target="_blank"><div class="gmail_default" style="display:inline">

<span style="vertical-align:baseline;font-size:15px;white-space:pre-wrap;background-color:transparent;font-family:Arial">I hope that your semester has been going well! Over the Fall semester, I have revised the COPLAC data profile collection based upon feedback that I had received from the group at the last meeting as well as through consultation with Bill Spellman and Lynn Boyce. One of the primary concerns that I have heard in the past was that there were questions regarding definitions of specific elements contained within the data profile. As a result, I have modified the process for collection as well as the elements contained within the profile. All elements (except for minor instances where they are most likely compiled already ex. SAT averages) have been mapped to existing data sources (CDS, IPEDS, or Academe from AAUP). This mapping is contained within the Excel spreadsheet that notes where the information can be located. My hope is that this clarify what is collected and on what timetable. </span></p>

If the need arises to substantially correct data, please resubmit all data contained within the form. After the 2013-14 profile collection is complete, I will send out a short feedback form so that we can re-evaluate the process for future revisions, if necessary. </span></p>
