Note: New federal ethnicity and race categories were implemented in the fall of 2010. Part of the increase in Hispanic students in fall 2010 was due to the change in ethnic

categories requiring all students who are part Hispanic to be reported as Hispanic instead of with their other ethnic group. The addition of the Multi-Racial category may

have decreased the number of students reported in the Asian American and Native American categories. The number of Asian American students may have decreased with

the addition of the Hawaiian/Pacific Islander category. Non-resident alien students are not reported in the minority categories.
