To measure how prominent are diversity and inclusion on a college's website, we divided the number of hits on a search query for those two words by the number of hits on a search for the query excellence OR achievement, both queries using the Google API. If the latter query does not report at least 100 hits, then the value entered is N/A. The data were collected in February 2014.
