The data is used for the college’s annual federal reporting requirements such as the Affirmative Action Plan (AAP), VETS 4212 report, and the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System survey, or IPEDS.  All information collected will be kept confidential and used solely for the purpose of improving inclusion practices and ensuring compliance with federal regulations.
