Positive outcomes from undergraduate research experiences (UREs) have resulted in calls to broaden and diversify participation in research. However, we have little understanding of what demographics are reported and considered in the analyses of student outcomes from UREs.

In the state of South Carolina, African American students make up 34% of the student population but 59% of students receive out-of-school suspension.

Exclusionary discipline, which removes a student from the educational setting, poses significant…
