Transition to the “New” Multiethnicity Data Element

This study explores the transition from the "old" ethnicity data field to the new multiethnicity data element and compares ethnicity trends among students. The focus is on the number and percentage of Latino students as the college aims to achieve HSI status. The current scenario shows that Latino students make up 24.8% of the student population, with unknown ethnicity being less than 0.1%.
