9. N = 37 CCCUN = 95 Comparison Institutions SOUTHEAST Diversity rates in the Southeast also increased gradually over this time period. Rates increase from 16.5% in 2003 to 20.4% in 2009. 2009 gap = 5.9%

10. N = 17 CCCUN = 17 Comparison Institutions SOUTHWEST The Southwest represents the largest concentration of diverse students in the Council. The rates ranged from 24.4% in 2003 to 29.4 in 2009. Comparison institutions outpaced the CCCU by 7 percentage points, ranging from 32.4% in 2003 to 37.1% in 2009.

11. N = 25 CCCUN = 40 Comparison Institutions WEST The West had a gradual increase among CCCU institutions. There was however, the largest discrepancy between CCCU and non-CCCU institutions in this region. The mean percentage gap was 13.2.%.

16. N = 40 CCCUN = 118 Comparison Institutions MIDWEST Lowest regional percentage of completions CCCU institutions reported 11% - 12% Comparison institutions had slight, but steady growth (12.5% - 13.8%) 2009 gap = 1.0% - lowest among the regions

17. N = 37 CCCUN = 91 Comparison Institutions SOUTHEAST CCCU and comparison institutions experienced steady growth in completions. CCCU: 13.9% - 2003 16.3% - 2009 Comparison institutions: 18.1% - 2003 20.8% - 2009 2009 gap = 4.5%

18. SOUTHWEST Highest percentage of regional completions CCCU had slight variations, but reached a high in 2009: 26.1% Comparison institutions had steady growth with a high of 35.0% in 2009 2009 gap = 8.9% N = 17 CCCU N = 17 Comparison Institutions

19. WEST CCCU varied slightly between 17.5% in 2003 and 18.8% in 2009. Comparison institutions reached a high in 2007 with 31.1%. 2009 gap = 11.2% - the most dramatic among the regions N = 25 CCCUN = 35 Comparison Institutions

20. NORTHEAST: African Americans are the largest group: 8-9% of graduates MIDWEST: African Americans (4-5%) and Hispanics (3-4%) SOUTHEAST: African Americans - steady growth (8.9%-10.5%) SOUTHWEST: African Americans (7.8-8.5%) and Hispanics (6.7-10.1%) make up the largest groups among graduates WEST: Hispanics are the largest group: 6.9% in 2003 to 9% in 2008; Asian/Pacific Islanders make up the next largest group (around 4% across years) CCCU: Completion and Ethnicity, 2003-2009

21. FACULTY

22. N = 81 CCCU N = 294 Comparison Institutions TENURED FACULTY CCCU increased from 4.2% in 2005 to 5.8% in 2003. Comparison institutions consistently have larger percentages of tenured faculty of color than CCCU institutions. 2009 gap = 2.7%

23. N = 81 CCCU N = 294 Comparison Institutions NON-TENURED Comparison institutions experienced consistent growth in non-tenured faculty, reaching a high of 16.5% in 2009. CCCU institutions remained at 12% between 2007 and 2009. 2009 gap = 4.2

24. NON-TENURE TRACK Category includes institutions who do not have a tenure track as well as institutions who have tenured, non-tenured (but on a tenure track), and non- tenure track positions. CCCU institutions have hovered around 7% across years. 2009 gap = 4.7% N = 112 CCCUN = 363 Comparison Institutions

29. CONCLUSIONS We are making gradual but steady gains in the recruitment or enrollment of students of color nationwide. Significant gains were obtained in the Southwest. The lowest levels of diversity continue to be found in the Midwest. Attending to graduation and/or completion rates may be the next challenge ahead. In most case the completion rates followed enrollment levels. Significant gaps (5% to 10 % points) were found between CCCU and non-CCCU schools, particularly in the Southwest and West regions. The recruitment and retention of faculty of color continues to be an issue. Most faculty in CCCU institutions are non-tenured faculty in tenure track positions. Representation of faculty of color in administrative ranks remains low. Attention to economic and demographic changes in different Regions will be critical in responding to issues of diversity.
