Survey - Post #15

Did anyone else take the NSSE National Survey of Student Engagement survey that we got in our FredMail? I took it and noticed that it had some different options for racial/ethnic identification that we have discussed in class. The biggest one was the "multiracial" classification that I know we have brought up.

• What is your racial or ethnic identification? (Select only one.)

  • American Indian or other Native American
  • Asian, Asian American, or Pacific Islander
  • Black or African American
  • White (non-Hispanic)
  • Mexican or Mexican American
  • Puerto Rican
  • Other Hispanic or Latino
  • Multiracial
  • Other
  • I prefer not to respond

The multiracial is very broad and doesn't seem to offer much of a classification for any race/ethnic background and I just wanted to put it out there to see what everyone thought about it.
