¹ Two or more races was an optional reporting category in IPEDS 2009-10, and 829 degree-granting institutions with 15 or more full-time staff reported staff using this option. The figures reported here should not be considered representative of all staff who could be classified into two or more races.

NOTE: New hires include full-time permanent staff who were included on the payroll of the institution between July 1 and October 31, 2009, either for the first time (new to the institution) or after a break in service AND who are still on the payroll of the institution as of November 1, 2009. New hires do not include persons who have returned from sabbatical leave or full-time staff whose primary responsibility is instruction, research, and/or public service working less-than-9-month contracts/teaching periods. New hires are included in the counts of all staff. Race/ethnicity (including race/ethnicity unknown) applies to U.S. citizens, resident aliens, and other eligible noncitizens. Nonresident aliens are not designated by race or ethnicity. Data are for degree-granting institutions and administrative offices with 15 or more full-time staff.
