The file proposed here is the map of the sectorization of the public colleges of the Seine-Maritime. The competence of geographical sectorisation (see glossary) of public colleges lies with the Department in accordance with Article L 213-1 of the Education Code, it being specified that the academic authorities continue to affect students individually in public colleges. Within this framework, the Department determines the recruitment sectors of the colleges.

This dataset provides a crosswalk that maps the meta-major column to the Classification of Instructional Programs (CIP) classification columns in the Awards (Degrees) Conferred Statewide dataset. Meta-majors are a framework that categorizes academic programs into broad curricular pathways.

This dataset utilizes the 2020 CIP. The Classification of Instructional Programs was created by the U.S. Department of Education's National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) in 1980. More information can be found on the CIP user site.

This crosswalk is unique to this dataset and should not be used to map award information from other sources or institutions.

HOLC, in consultation with local real estate professionals and local policymakers, categorized neighborhoods in hundreds of cities in the United States into four types: Best (A), Still Desirable (B), Definitely Declining (C), and Hazardous (D). So-called “hazardous” zones were colored red on these maps. These zones were then used to approve or deny credit-lending and mortgage-backing by banks and the Federal Housing Administration. The descriptions provided by HOLC in their reports rely heavily on race and ethnicity as critical elements in assigning these grades. According to the University of Richmond's Mapping Inequality project, “Arguably the HOLC agents in the other two hundred-plus cities graded through this program adopted a consistently white, elite standpoint or perspective. HOLC assumed and insisted that the residency of African-Americans and immigrants, as well as working-class whites, compromised the values of homes and the security of mortgages” (Mapping Inequality). HOLC’s classifications were one contributory factor in underinvestment in a neighborhood, and generally, although not always, closed off many, especially people of color, from the credit necessary to purchase their own homes.The 15 Worcester neighborhood zones included on the map are ordered from Zone 1 (categorized as "Best") to Zone 15, with the highest numbered zones included in the least desirable "Hazardous" category. The exact descriptions used by HOLC to classify the neighborhoods in 1936 are included, and therefore may contain some disturbing language. Many scholars and institutions have focused their efforts on tracking the effects the 1930s redlining maps still have today. The Mapping Inequality project by the University of Richmond has collected and analyzed a comprehensive set of redlining maps for more than 200 cities in the U.S. One of their conclusions is that, for most cities, there are striking and persistent geographic similarities between redlined zones and currently vulnerable areas even after eighty years. See the Mapping Inequality website for more information (https://dsl.richmond.edu/panorama/redlining).This digitized version prepared by the Worcester Regional Research Bureau was based on a scanned copy from the National Archives, obtained thanks to Dr. Robert Nelson, the Digital Scholarship Lab, and the rest of his team at Mapping Inequality at the University of Richmond. Dr. Nelson worked with The Research Bureau directly to track it down in the Archives.Informing Worcester is the City of Worcester's open data portal where interested parties can obtain public information at no cost.

Public colleges give priority to students living in their recruitment sector. This area is determined by the student’s place of residence. It is therefore neither the primary school attended nor the place of professional practice of the parents that determine the sector college(s). It is the departmental council that defines the “school map of public colleges”, i.e. the recruitment sectors of the various public colleges of the department, specifying in which public college(s) are to be enrolled students who live in such areas of the department. When this promotes social diversity, the departmental council may decide that the same sector of recruitment is shared by several public colleges (in this case it is called “multi-college sector”). Reference: Education Code, Article L213-1 (‘https://www.legifrance.gouv.fr/codes/article_lc/LEGIARTI000031104883’) The school card is collected by the DASEN and taken into account in the application Affelnet 6e to proceed with the assignment of students. To automate the reconciliation between students’ addresses and their sector college(s), DASEN may import a school card file into Affelnet 6e, provided that this file has been previously transmitted by the departmental council in a harmonised format, defined at national level. The published dataset results from the aggregation, at national level, of departmental files used by DASEN to automatically determine the student sector college(s). It can be downloaded at national level from data.gouv.fr by the Ministry of National Education and Youth.
