| * 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%. |
