Important Notes

This data visualization provides information about demographic characteristics of UW-Madison employees. Data is based on non-duplicating headcounts of faculty and staff. Individuals with two or more positions are counted only once. School/College/Division is assigned based on the primary department of the position.


Faculty with zero-dollar appointments are included. Individuals who hold both Faculty and Limited positions are counted as Faculty.


LTEs, Fellows, Trainees, hourly Academic Staff and Academic Staff and University Staff with zero-dollar appointments are excluded. Data on Graduate Students is available beginning in 2011.


Minority is defined as those individuals who identify as Black or African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, Hispanic or Latino/Latina, Asian or Asian American, or two or more races. Individuals who decline to report race/ethnicity are counted as non-Minority. Minority and non-Minority include individuals who are non-resident aliens.


Minority (non-Asian) is defined as those individuals who identify as Black or African American, American Indian or Alaska Native, Hispanic or Latino/Latina, or two or more races.


Changes to Federal rules for the collection and reporting of race/ethnicity are reflected in the data for 2010 and later years. A two-part question asks first about Hispanic heritage and then about race. Unlike previous years, individuals may choose to report more than one race. Individuals who report Hispanic heritage are counted as Hispanic, regardless of race. Those who report two or more races and do no indicate Hispanic are reported in the two or more races category.
