Note:
Race and Ethnicity categories for domestic students were
changed for 2008-09 year.
In Fall 2009
Check one: Are you Hispanic or Latino? – yes, no
If you check “yes”, you are counted as Hispanic no matter
what else you check.
And then
Check one or more:
Black or African American, Asian, American Indian or Alaskan
Native, Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander, White
If you are not counted as Hispanic, you are counted as one of
these, “not specified” or “2 or more races”.

before that. Most are in life sciences.
Many more NTT Hispanic faculty than TT
