Ah. It took me a while to figure out that the CDS numbers (or, what you refer to as the “federal reporting” numbers) for the racial composition of incoming students completely bracket out the international students so that the bracket for Black and African American first-years is nearly always going to be the smaller number.

Of course, all of this is confounded by the number of international students who, once they encounter American culture first-hand, begin to self-identify simply as “Black”.
