AAUP Faculty Gender Equity Indicators 2006

The American Association of University Professors
has issued a new report, AAUP Press Release
of 10/26/2006, the report provides data on four specific
measures of gender equity for faculty at over 1,400
colleges and universities across the country; employment
status (full- and part-time); tenure status for
full-time faculty; promotion to full professor rank; and average
salary for full-time faculty.

The report consists of three sections: an article on
“Organizing Around Gender Equity,” authored jointly
by Professor Martha S. West of the University of California,
Davis and John W. Curtis, AAUP Director of Research and
Public Policy; aggregate national tables for each of the four
equity indicators by type of institution; and an appendix listing
the four indicators for each individual college and university.

Statistics for the report are drawn primarily from the AAUP
Faculty Compensation Survey, with additional data on part-time
faculty from the US Department of Education.
