OIR never ask for markers, just identity when they ask and they typically only ask on anonymous surveys.
Survey question for 2024: Entering student survey (undergrads only)
External Systems they report to: AAU, IPEDS, QS rankings
Open questions:
If we adjust admissions systems to collect gender identity and gender markers, that data can go directly into Denodo as is and be available to OIR, but still needs to map from Slate into the current SIS field. What does the SIS mapping look like?
one approach: prioritize value in identity, and if that is blank, use marker.
→ this is not as problematic as it could be if we are using pre-enrollment data check surveys.
For Hope Freeman what should our prompts for gender identity? Current list in SIS: Female, Male, Non-binary, Transgender, Indeterminate/Intersex/Unspecified, Other
Technically ‘unknown’ also exists in that list, but isn’t a good option to provide; when OIR reports to IPEDS, anyone in that category is redistributed into the M/F category based on the ratio of the rest of the population.

If we maintain the current sex/gender field in SIS as gender identity--which is the “public” facing one in SIS--and add a ‘gender marker’ field (M, F, X), how do we handle current students? Do we attempt to collect this information like we do when IPEDS categories are revised? (Depending on timing, could we combine North African race updates with gender updates?)
Future considerations:
update prompt lists
identity as a multi-select field
identity as student-adjustable
