I would also suggest working with HR, IT, and IR to determine how they will support correcting and updating data - there are pretty major implications for having incorrect demographic data and that will have to get corrected. <br>

WWCC just went through ctcLink conversion a couple of weeks ago, and we're now learning that during the conversion <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0); font-family:Garamond,Georgia,serif; font-size:12pt">students/employees without race/ethnicity info might have been
defaulted to White in PeopleSoft. I'm curious to hear if this is something that others have experienced, and what approach you took to reduce harm in this experience of individuals being othered and opportunities for support.</span></div>
