* Effective fall 2010, federal law required universities to collect race/ethnicity data on new employees in greater detail, see Glossary for more information.
New employees may declare more than one race category in addition to the ethnicity category. Information under the "Faculty by IPEDS Reporting Category"
heading in the table above provides traditional race/ethnicity information where students are counted once per category. Information under the "Faculty
by Collection Category" heading provides a different look at race/ethnicity information. Hispanic faculty are reported as Hispanic as well as any race
categories they have self-reported. All new faculty declaring more than one race category are reported in each category selected. Therefore, adding the
figures from the separate race/ethnicity categories under this heading may yield a figure greater than the number shown in the "Total" column, which is a
unique person count. This second method provides a more precise reflection of the racial and ethnic diversity of the UA faculty.
 
**This is the sum of all "collection category" percentages which will likely be greater than 100%.
