The U.S Department of Education has issued its final guidance on maintaining, collecting, and reporting racial and ethnic data. This guidance requires ALL educational institutions to collect and report race/ethnicity information of their faculty, staff, and students using a two-question format.
The first question is whether the respondent is Hispanic/Latino. The second question asks the respondent to select one or more races from the following federally defined races: American Indian or Alaska Native, Asian, Black or African American, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, and White.

Dartmouth College is required to participate in the annual data collection known as IPEDS. IPEDS is the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System. It is a system of interrelated surveys conducted annually by the U.S. Department’s National Center for Education Statistics (NCES).
IPEDS gathers information from every college, university, and technical and vocational institution that participates in the federal student financial aid programs. The Higher Education Act of 1965, as amended, requires that institutions that participate in federal student aid programs report data on enrollments, program completions, graduation rates, faculty and staff, finances, institutional prices, and student financial aid.
The IPEDS submissions for the current census year are required to be reported in the new format. Up until this year the new format has been optional.
The Executive Office of the President of the United States, the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), and the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs work with the the Interagency Committee for the Review of the Racial and Ethnic Standards to set the categories and descriptions that are to be used for maintaining, collecting, and reporting racial and ethnic data. (http://www.whitehouse.gov/omb/fedreg_1997standards/)
Yes. Your responses will be kept confidential and will be reported in aggregate format only.
Going forward, this electronic survey will replace the paper Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Self Identification Form previously used to collect race/ethnicity, gender, and veteran status. In addition to ethnicity and race, the College is required to report, in aggregate format only, gender in the Affirmative Action Plan and veteran status in the Vets 100 report.
You should contact the Office of Institutional Diversity and Equity at Institutional.Diversity.&.Equity@Dartmouth.edu or 603-646-3197 with questions.
