1. Student race/ethnicity was gathered from US Census-type questions that measure whether or not the respondent is Hispanic as well as racial/ethnic identification (White, Black, American Indian, Pacific Islander, Asian, other). For the CLL, if data were missing from the Pre-College Survey, admissions data were used when possible. For the CIRP, students' race/ethnicity was considered from the responses to the Freshmen Year Survey, or College Years Survey if missing. The "other" category for the CLL includes students who identified as bi- or multiracial, which was not an option on the CIRP surveys. Virtually all respondents who self-identified as Hispanic listed racial categories other than Black; accordingly, these cases were assigned to the Latino group.
