This panel presentation will highlight the recently published text, "Behind the Diversity Numbers," by Dr. W. Carson Byrd. Informative in nature, this book talk will center on theoretical concepts and current research associated with the use of statistics within systems of higher education and the adverse effects the misuse of these numbers can have on minoritized student groups.

Facilitated by Dr. W. Carson Byrd (NCID senior fellow in residence).

Panelists include Drs. Katherine S. Cho (assistant professor of student affairs at Miami University), Karly Sarita Ford (assistant professor of education policy studies at Penn State), and Jameson David Lopez (assistant professor of educational policy studies and practice at the University of Arizona).
