SECTION I — Women’s Progression through the Ranks from Student to Faculty to Academic Administrator

Charts 1, 2, and 6 through 59 – A Comparison of the Percentage of Degrees Awarded to Women 1997-8 to 2000-1 and the Percentage of Women on the Faculty and in Academic Administration in 2001

  • Degree figures shown in these charts include degrees conferred at the University of Michigan during the fiscal years 1994-95 through 2000-2001. The figures are displayed by degree level. Intermediate degrees are included in the “master” category. First Professional includes the following degrees: J.D., D.D.S., Pharm.D., and M.D.

  • Tenured and Tenure Track Faculty counts are provided by Human Resource Records and Information Services and are drawn from the Faculty Census Reports, with data as of November 1 of the relevant year.

  • Faculty counts are taken from appointment information and include tenured and tenure track faculty with regular appointments. These counts also include senior faculty without tenure. Faculty counts are headcount information and include all faculty members with current appointments, regardless of fraction or funding.

  • Faculty members with joint appointments are counted in each school or college in which they hold an appointment. However, the University summary tables count each individual only once. In departmental charts for the Medical School and for the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, faculty members are assigned to their dominant appointment and counted in only one department.

  • Academic administrator counts come from Human Resource Data Warehouse as of November 1. Academic administrators include chairs, deans, senior associate deans, associate deans, executive officers and regents. Chairs include departmental chairs, areas heads, and heads of degree granting programs as defined by the units. Deans include deans, senior associate deans, and associate deans.

Charts 64 through 66 – Women as Percentage of Tenured and Tenure Track Faculty New Hires By Gender and Race

  • These data are provided by the Human Resource Records and Information Services office and include instructional faculty newly hired by the University into tenure track or tenured positions. The source of this data is the School/College Data Display reports.

  • Counts for faculty of color include all faculty who self-report as a member of one of the four federally recognized minority groups (Hispanic/Latina(o), Native American, Asian, or Black). Faculty counts include U.S. citizens, permanent resident aliens, and foreign nationals whose visa status allows their employment by the University.

Charts 143 through 158 – Analyses of Tenure Status Attained by the Members of Two Cohorts of Faculty

  • The cohort of analysis includes all faculty hired into tenure track positions with a title of assistant professor or instructor between July 1, XXXX and June 30, YYYY. Members of the cohort were identified through records in the Human Resource Data Base. Tenure status was determined through records in the Human Resource Data Base.

  • For analyses of the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, instructor titles are combined with assistant professor titles, reflecting the College’s use of those titles.

  • Counts for faculty of color include all faculty who self-report as a member of one of the four federally recognized minority groups (Hispanic/Latina(o), Native American, Asian, or Black). Faculty counts include U.S. citizens, permanent resident aliens, or foreign nationals whose visa status allows their employment by the University.

  • This report does not contain separate charts for faculty of color hired as instructors or assistant professors in the Medical School or in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts because the numbers are too small to draw meaningful conclusions.

  • Those counted in the category “received tenure” include all members of the cohort who were promoted to a tenured position at the University of Michigan, even if they subsequently left the University.

  • The category “left UM without promotion to a tenured position” includes all members of the cohort who either 1) were denied tenure or 2) left UM before the formal review and tenure decision. This latter group includes faculty who undoubtedly would have received tenure had they chosen to remain at UM but who left for a variety of personal or professional reasons.

  • Staff of color include all staff who self-report as a member of one of the four federally recognized minority groups (Hispanic/Latina(o), Native American Indian, Asian, or Black).

Charts 174 through 178 – Percentage of Women Staff by Salary Grade Ranges 1991, 1995 and 2001

  • Not all job families are included in this analysis. The following job families do not lend themselves to meaningful aggregations by salary grade ranges and, therefore, are omitted: nurses, technical, allied health, operating engineers/trades, and public safety/security.

  • In the past few years, a number of units have moved away from traditional salary grades to Broadband job classification schemes for their professional/administrative positions. “Broadbanding” means reducing the number of pay ranges and expanding the width of these ranges (now called “bands”). Along with this structural change, broadbanding typically gives hiring managers more flexibility to set starting salaries and award pay raises and bonuses. The graphs contained in this report show ‘Broadband’ as one category of salary grade.
