I have no idea what this means. In the diversity paperwork I file for every new hire, there are racial categories of white and non-white but at no point was there a question about origin. There’s definitely no mention of Europe. I hired an Italian instructor from Italy, and there was no opportunity to mention Italy or Europe in that discussion.
Federal education statistics are different from Title IX reporting that accompanies each hire. They are not previous to hiring but are compiled afterwards. In order to know what these stats mean, we need to find out not only how many white Americans were hired but how many applied. Does the exclusion happen at the level of graduate school, for example? We need to know when that journey begins to understand why it ends where it does.
