Building More Inclusive Systems for Who Counts: Part 2

In Part 2, authors of two papers below provide overviews of their papers and engage in dialogue with each other, the editor, and the audience.

• Accurately representing identity in university data systems: Collecting and utilizing chosen name, gender identity, and gender pronouns
• Incorporating Gender-Inclusive Perspectives in Institutional Data at a Leading Chilean Public University

While institutional research is a mainstay for providing replicable and standardized data about university populations such as faculty, staff, and students, our systems too often limit who can be counted, and in what ways those individuals can be described. Institutional data collection and reporting systems need better ways to identify who comprises our institutional communities, with attention to upholding the autonomy, confidentiality, and privacy of minoritized individuals.

• Identify strategies to systematically gather and report information about overlooked groups and/or statuses in higher education
• Understand the importance of responsible data use
