7-10. I know we’ve talked about this, but just making a note here that the review and final approval of the language for these questions must come from ODHE.

You might consider allowing for a multiracial option for question 10 although ‘Other’ could be used.

#9/10 – IHEs with Title IV federal financial aid programs must use the two-part question exactly to collect race and ethnicity information. See this page for more details: https://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/report-your-data/race-ethnicity-collecting-data-for-reporting-purposes

Institutions MUST give students and staff the opportunity to self-report their race and ethnicity. Students and staff do NOT have to respond. Institutions MUST use a 2-part question to collect these data. The first part of the question collects ethnicity, and the second part of the question collects race. The questions must be presented in this order:
Are you Hispanic or Latino?
Select one or more of the following races:
American Indian or Alaska Native
Asian
Black or African American
Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander
White

21041
21042

For #10, please add a multi-racial option or allow users to select multiple options.

21043

It may be useful to note that the separation of Hispanic/Latino ethnicity is due to federal reasons here. For those who aren’t familiar with that it can be off-putting or challenging.

21055

Should students have the option to decline to indicate their age?

#7 — The gender identity question is not inclusive. I would recommend a broader question that asks about gender identity, not gender. A sample question is pasted below:
What is your gender identity?
• Agender
• Genderqueer or Gender fluid
• Man
• Non-binary
• Trans Man
• Trans Woman
• Woman
• Preferred Identity (in addition to or not listed above) _____________
• Prefer not to disclose
