Ethnic Distribution of Instructional Faculty

Ethnicity is self-reported by faculty, and many faculty choose not to specify a racial/ethnic category. By federal law, ethnicity is a protected category and no one can be forced to disclose it. The U.S. Department of Education uses the following racial/ethnic categories:

Black, non-Hispanic
American Indian or Alaskan Native
Asian or Pacific Islander
Hispanic
White, non-Hispanic

These catagories are reported for US citizens and resident aliens. Faculty who are not US citizens and are in the country on a temporary basis are reported as nonresident aliens (the column 'Foreign' below). At MSU-Bozeman, a very small number of faculty report their racial/ethnic category as 'Other,' which generally implies parents of different racial/ethnic backgrounds.
