The Fall 2015 Campus Diversity Update is now available. This issue represents the second in our new series of updates, which are designed to provide regular, timely feedback on key indicators of equity and diversity to the campus community. 

New in this Update is a more complex analysis of student composition by ethnicity, which takes into consideration students who identify with multiple ethnicities and helps us to understand more about the complexity of our students’ backgrounds and identities.

In addition, we acknowledge the achievement of our highest 6-year graduation rate in more than a decade. And we continue to highlight and question the inequitable—and sometimes dramatic—gaps in achievement that remain, especially for underrepresented students.

All staff and faculty on campus should be receiving a copy of the Update in their mailboxes Thursday and Friday. We hope you’ll take a few minutes to peruse this report, and to send us your comments, questions, and feedback.

If you would like additional copies, please contact us at diversity@humboldt.edu or x4503. You can also access the report – and accompanying diversity data dashboards – on our website: humboldt.edu/diversity
