  • Data are managed, analyzed, and reported by a range of offices using varying approaches, including some public-facing and restricted-access dashboards, standing reports, and ad-hoc studies. 
  • Many data, dashboards, and reports are, by design, accessible to select individuals and their use may be subject to Duke’s Data Classification Standard policies. 
  • Access may be limited to school and unit leaders, including chairs, chief administrative and business officers, HR representatives, and EDI leaders. 
  • Data definitions, such as race/ethnicity groupings, may vary across data sources and reports. 
  • Many available data and reports focus on select constituent groups, such as faculty, staff, health professions and biomedical sciences learners, and postdoctoral trainees. 
  • The timing of data collection and reporting varies across sources. 
  • It is not necessarily possible to link or match data across data, dashboards, or reports in this guide. 
  • This guide provides information on frequently used data and reports that support EDI strategy development and enhancement. It is not exhaustive of all data and reports available.
