Although there is no item on
the alumni survey asking for the respondent’s gender, the male/female distribution
was derived by matching the alumni survey file against the degrees file
by social security numbers. This was possible as 83% (N=268) of the respondents
provided their social security numbers. As shown in Table 2, a slightly
higher percentage of females is represented in the survey group than is
found in the total population of 1999 graduates.
