How should institutions represent racial and ethnic groups? What are the ethical considerations when working with these student data? How does an analyst’s choices affect the results? Representing student racial and ethnic data is nuanced. Being thoughtful, well-informed, and collaborative in making decisions about how student racial and ethnic data should be used is the responsibility of the analyst. Grounding oneself in the purpose of the analysis and use of the results can help analysts most authentically categorize racial and ethnic groups.
