Cristina Diaz (one of my RAs & the Mixed Student Union President here at UC San Diego) and I created a survey item to assess the degree to which Multiracial & Multiethnic undergraduate students feel a part of their identity hasn’t been considered in the opportunities offered to them while in college. This followed from a Zoominar Cristina & I had last week with Windi Sasaki (Program Manager of APIMEDA at UCSD, ranked #8 among U.S. public universities, according to the latest Center for World University Rankings).
Windi provided the links/source material for how Mixed students are coded out of a portion of their potential college experience. The only ones who are spared are those made aware of this Primary Ethnicity coding system who proceed to notify admins that they would like to be included in materials provided for particular groups (because they’re also a member of that group).
