Subject: [Oacrao-l] Collection of Ethnicity Data on Application for
Admission

 

There has been some recent concern on our campus over the collection of
ethnicity data on our application for admission even though it is for
information and reporting purposes only.  My question is how many of you
ask the ethnicity questions on your application for admission?

 

Thank you in advance for your responses.
