About the Data

This detailed demographic information reflects the self-identified identities of our current community members, reported on an annual basis.

Please note:

These reports are more detailed than federally-required standard IPEDS (Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System) reports, which use a required logic that flattens and obscures detail when individuals select multiple identifications. These limited categories of race and ethnicity are determined by the federal government.
Population (not identifications) is the base for percentages. Therefore, the columns could add to more than 100%, as an individual who has self-identified as both Latinx and Black/African American would be included in the counts for each group.
Therefore, when interpreting the percentages listed in the tables, consider that x% of yGroup (Students/Faculty/Staff/All Employees) self-identify as z (racial/ethnic group). For example, 29.4% of all Students self-identify as Asian.

Student Race/Ethnicity Data

Of 1479 students enrolled in Fall 2024 (including those studying abroad), 48.7% identified as a student of color, and of the 1319 US Citizens/permanent residents, 44% identified as a student of color.

About the Data

We've noted figures that are too small for responsible reporting. Our suppression rule requires that if an identification is less than 3% of a group and pertains to fewer than 10 individuals, that the data be suppressed to protect the identities and privacy of individuals.
The figures in the Student tables (as of 10/1/2024) represent the multiple identifications provided by 1479 students, including 160 individuals who are “Non-Residents” (international).
The figures in the Employees tables (as of 11/1/2024) represent the multiple identifications provided by 717 employees, including 19 individuals who are "Non-Residents" (international). Within the group of Staff employees, 313 are exempt and 198 are non-exempt.
Important definitions:
- A Non Resident (NR) is a person who is not a citizen or national of the United States and who is in this country on a visa or temporary basis and does not have the right to remain indefinitely. At Haverford, they are often referred to as “international”.
- Permanent Residents include resident aliens (and other eligible non-citizens). This group includes persons who are not a citizen or national of the United States but who have been admitted as a legal immigrant.
- Exempt and Non-Exempt are national classifications for employees. Non-exempt employees are protected by (are not exempt from) the provisions of the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act; they are paid by the hour worked and are eligible to earn overtime pay. Exempt employees are salaried, and are not eligible to earn overtime pay.
