Race and Ethnicity Details

Information on gender and race is required for many federal programs and is critical in making policy decisions, particularly for civil rights. States use these data to meet legislative redistricting principles. Gender and race data also are used to promote equal employment opportunities and to assess gender and racial disparities in health and environmental risks. And finally, as an educational institution, EMU is concerned about disparities in academic performance. It is optional to identify and your response will in no way affect the admission decision.
