(but that it might reaesonably include) - (no graphs or visuals) - admission rate & deeper breakdown of those numbers - some sections are missing numbers - information about percentages in NUin - information about both gender & racial/ethic demographics - information about non-binary students? What kinds of questions might we be able to investigate with this data? - questions about how enrollment has changed over the last decade What kinds of questions might we *think* that we could investigate with this data, but that we can't actually? - how does retention/persistance correspond to involvement in extracurriculars? - any question that involves overlapping categories that do not exist in the data Now, compare this dataset with the one from 2010 - 2011 Can we answer the same questions? 2) Is the data from the Common Data Set that we are looking at monolithic or disaggregated? - monolithic: represents one number, not broken into sub categories - disaggregated: broken up according to sub categories https://ncrc.org/racial-wealth-snapshot-asian-americans-and-the-racial-wealth-divide/ """
