GENDER AND RACE DEMOGRAPHICS AT UCF Spring 2016

EXECUTIVE SUMMARYGENDER AND RACE DEMOGRAPHICS AT UCFSPRING 2016The purpose of this preliminary report is to provide data illuminating gender andrace demographics for the University of Central Florida (UCF) faculty, staff andstudents. This data is a snapshot of facts and figures for UCF diversity, but onlyprovides data related to federally-reported demographics. It cannot provideinsight into diversity across other identities and expressions, nor theinclusiveness of the campus. We anticipate this report will serve as one tool inUCF’s pursuit of diversity and inclusion. We hope this report will contribute toour overall goal of creating a respectful and safe campus environment.1

EXECUTIVE SUMMARYIn 1992, President Hitt established five key goals to provide a roadmap for UCF goals and achievements. Recognizing thefourth goal to become more inclusive and diverse, the Office of Diversity and Inclusion (ODI) set out to better understandtrends and status of campus demographic representation in fall 2015. This report collects much of this data in a singulardocument.STUDENTSUCF boasts the largest student enrollment rate of public universities across the nation. Over the past five years, there hasbeen a general increase in male and student enrollment. Most UCF students identify as female (55.1%), but those identifiedas Asian and non-resident alien males outnumber females.More than half of the student body is comprised of white students (52.8%). Large minority groups include Hispanic/Latino (22.5%) Black/African American (10.9%) and Asian (5.8%) students.The number of American Indian/Alaskan Native students, not-specified and white students have been decreasing whereasthe number of Asian, black/African American, Hispanic/Latino, multiracial students and Native Hawaiian/Other PacificIslander students have been increasing.A per-college analysis shows engineering and computer science with the highest male student enrollment followed bybusiness administration and science. Most racial and ethnic minority males are enrolled in engineering and computerscience with the exception of American Indian/Alaskan Native male students who are mostly enrolled in businessadministration. The highest female enrollment is found in science, health and public affairs, and arts and humanities. Perethnicity, Most Hispanic/Latino, multiracial and white female students are enrolled in science, Most Asian, black/African American, American Indian/Alaskan Native and Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islanderfemale students are enrolled in health and public affairs, Most non-resident alien female students are enrolled in engineering and computer science and Most race-not-specified female students are enrolled in education and human performance.As of fall 2015, there are 14,023 first-generation undergraduate students and 27,797 undergraduate transfer studentsenrolled at UCF. Of the first-generation students, 61% are transfer students. Of the transfer students, 31% are firstgeneration students. In 2010, UCF developed a list of 22 national peer institutions to assist in strategic planning.Compared to national selected peer institutions, UCF ranked: 10th in undergraduate graduation (58.87%) 10th in racial and ethnic minority graduation (34.16%) 4th in racial and ethnic minority graduation rates (64.19%) 4th in racial and ethnic minority female graduation rates (69.99%)2

EXECUTIVE SUMMARYFACULTYAs of fall 2015, UCF employs 11,764 employees, including educators, staff, research associates and graduate assistants. Ofthe nearly 12,000 employees, less than 1,000 are tenured or tenure-earning faculty. Most instructional faculty were nontenure-earning (47%), tenured (39%) and tenure-earning (14%). There are more male than female faculty.

The largest staff group is comprised ofundergraduates (32.71%), and the second largest group is comprised of graduate students (18.51%). Majority of employeeswere white with the exception of post-doctoral associates, which is mostly comprised of Asian employees. Contrastingly,the smallest minority group for A&P, USPS and OPS undergraduate employees were individuals who chose to no specifytheir ethnicity.The data described in this report represents a snapshot of diversity and inclusion on UCF campus. ODI does not wish tominimize diverse variables that warrant inclusion in a thorough analysis of the diversity and inclusion status on campus,including, but not limited to experiences and identities, such as sexual orientation, faith and non-faith perspectives. Thisproject represents a first step in a continuing process to more thoroughly explore campus climate and support action forUCF’s diverse students, staff and faculty.3
