Yes!

Nice!

Are Native American students included in SOC for this data reporting?

So campuses can drill down further to specific programs and courses to see where there are issues within health care, correct?

Yes, Eva, Native Americans are included in the Student of Color category in these reports.

How are individuals with disabilities identified for reporting purposes? Is there a special flag in ISRS that students should have to pull through accurate numbers for reporting?

The ISRS.PS_DISAB_NEED table is the primary data source for flagging students in that special population. The information comes from data entered in ISRS on students who have requested accommodations, with some additional criteria applied around timing of this (that it overlaps with the cohort), type of disability (something more permanent, not temporary in nature), etc. So for institutions that do not use ISRS to hold this information, they do not have data for this special population.

But if you have a small group, it only takes a "loss" of one student to create a large percentage gap. I would think the focus would be larger populations and what is happening with any larger gaps that are occurring there, rather than focusing on the size of any gap.

That document provides some brief information about the current data sources for the special population identification.
