March 31st, 2021: The Percentage Project is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that launched its fourth and largest annual social media campaign yet in collaboration with 11 schools across the country on March 31st, 2021. The campaign showcases the experiences of students in computer science using aggregated data and statistics.
Statistics taken from climate surveys of universities computer science departments are edited onto photos of community members, adding a face to the numbers.
“It’s really important to have data and actually collect it so that we understand where the disparities are,” said Percentage Project President and Co-Founder Stephanie Tang.
Sixty percent of survey respondents who identified as African American or Black reported that someone once claimed their racial identity unfairly contributed to their acceptance to the Engineering School, in comparison to 7.81% of Asian and 7.58% of white respondents.
