[DEOC] [External] Issues with race/ethnicity in ctcLink conversion

[Valencia, Iesha]

Hi Margarita,

I believe our campuses went live the same day. I did not hear about this so I will inquire with the ctcLink pillar leads to see if this also occurred at CPTC. I'll circle back.

Subject: [External][DEOC] Issues with race/ethnicity in ctcLink conversion

Hello DEO family,

WWCC just went through ctcLink conversion a couple of weeks ago, and we're now learning that during the conversion 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.

Thanks,

Margarita
