We are asking for the following details as the South African Astronomical Observatory is mandated to provide these statistics for telescope users. They will only be used for this purpose, and they will only be reported in aggregate form. They will not be shared with anyone else, including the Time Allocation Committee.
We are aware that when asking about gender, race or disability, even the options in a form might be contentious. If you feel that our approach, which has been guided by reporting requirements, could be improved, please let us know.
Please contact enquiries@saao.ac.za with any questions and concerns you might have.
