| Περίληψη: | The bachelor's data in this Focus On were all compiled from the Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). IPEDS is the core postsecondary education data system for the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) of the U.S. Department of Education. The PhD data in this focus on were all compiled from WebCASPAR, the integrated science and engineering resources data system maintained by the National Science Foundation. The data on the representation of minorities among physics faculty in universities and 4-year colleges were collected from the Statistical Research Center's Academic Workforce Survey. This study reveals that Hispanic Americans are increasing their representation among the US population in general and increasing their presence among college graduates. Hispanics comprise 15% of the population. However, they are not randomly distributed across the country. In fact, their concentration is such that only 9 states as well as Puerto Rico have a population that is 15% or more Hispanic. (Contains 4 figures and 6 tables.) |
