SPD-15 - changes to race/ethnicity

[Rachael R]

In which reporting year does CDS plan to update the race/ethnicity reporting to match the upcoming federal approach, which is to move from a 2-part question (Hispanic, then race) to a single question (including Hispanic among other race/ethnicities) and add MENA (Middle Eastern or North African)? And will the CDS follow whatever IPEDS lands on for reporting? Or develop its own thing?

Our institution is starting conversations about when and how to change our data collection & we want to understand when various reporting outlets will be changing their own requirements.

Thanks,

Rachael
