The changing percentage of the Asian population at Bowdoin

<p>For Full-time undergraduates: in 2009-2010, there were 205 Asians reported, 12% of the population. In the 2010-2011 Common Data Set, there were 128 Asians, 3 Pacific Islanders, and 108 in the Two or More category. Given that the latter two categories didn’t exist in 2009-2010, I’m guessing formerly-reported as Asian students didn’t just graduate or drop out, but are now being counted as Pacific Islander (which was part of Asian before) AND some of them are now being counted in Two or More. Black/African American went from 115 in 2009-2010 to 89 in 2010-2011. I’m guessing some of them are now reported in the Two or More category as well.</p>
