NYU is committed to building a diverse and inclusive campus community, and therefore it is important for the University to accurately share its most recent facts and figures. This data, collected by the Office of Institutional Research and Program Evaluation, provides up-to-date breakdowns of the NYU community by race, ethnicity, and sex [1].

Not only does this information help students, faculty, and staff better understand their community, it also helps to hold members of the University community accountable as we work to build a community that more accurately reflects our nation and our world.
