""We posed a directed question to the public to seek their feedback ... [and] based both upon our initial thinking and public comment, we propose limit[ing] eligibility of [the new IPEDS Admissions and Consumer Transparency Supplement] to the four-year sector," the notice stated."
"Colleges that are obligated to comply must still submit six years' worth of application and admissions data, disaggregated by student race and sex, during the next survey cycle, it said. But any college that admits 100 percent of its applicants and does not award merit or identity-based aid will be exempt."
""It's not just as easy as collecting data," Paul Schroeder, the executive director of the Council of Professional Associations on Federal Statistics, told Inside Higher Ed in August. "It's not just asking a couple questions about the race and ethnicity of those who were admitted versus those who applied. It's a lot of work. It's a lot of hours. It's not going to be fast.""
An executive action ordered colleges and universities to submit disaggregated applicant data and demonstrate compliance with race-related admissions laws. The mandate applies only to four-year institutions. Required colleges must submit six years of application and admissions data disaggregated by student race and sex during the next survey cycle. Colleges that admit 100 percent of applicants and do not award merit- or identity-based aid are exempt. Institutions warned that collecting and reporting the data would be difficult and impose an undue burden on admissions offices. Community colleges raised particular concern because of smaller staffs and limited resources.
