Lu, Larry, etc.

You are correct as far as I can recall Larry.  I remember Harold Horton or Rob
Sheehan (OBR) several months back addressing this issue as well.  I believe that
the federal regulations on reporting race/ethnicity are still up in the air (Lu
you can access the AIR Alerts via the AIR web site for more information).

For YSU, we are also holding on to our established method for identifying
student race/ethnicity.
