Undergraduate Student Diversity Report Cards

One pattern seen throughout this report is that while the overall data may show fairly high representation for some equity groups in undergraduate and graduate populations, it is not evenly distributed. For example, the representation of women is very low in many programs, including those in STEM. To present the overall data in greater detail, the student diversity report cards illustrate student representation by each undergraduate and graduate program differentiated by grading scores.  

How to read the report cards

The report cards grade every program in terms of the representation of each equity group, as well as the three largest racialized groups in the student population: South Asian, Chinese and Black. From those individual grades, an average program diversity score is calculated as a percentage. Then, all of the program diversity scores are averaged to find the Faculty score as a percentage. The programs included are from the 2018-2019 academic year. The data is a snapshot from winter 2019. 

More details about the grading system and formula are available in the Appendix.
