Facts and Figures

• Retention of Assistant Professors (data provided by UPA, analysis done by MLG)
  • For Women
  • For Faculty of Color

• Racial/Ethnic and Gender Breakdown of Administrators - data provided by University Planning and Analysis (UPA)

• Staff Demographics 1997-2006, by occupational activity code - data provided by UPA

• Faculty Demographics 1997-2006, By College and Tenure Status - data provided by University Planning and Analysis

• 2006 Faculty Well-Being Survey Results (links to UPA websites)

• 2006 Faculty Well-Being Survey Results by Race/Ethnicity and Rank/Tenure Status

• 2006 Faculty Well-Being Survey Results by Sex and Rank/Tenure Status [Summary][Tables] (survey conducted and results compiled by UPA. Any errors in the summaries are my own -- Marcia Gumpertz)

• 2006 COACHE survey -- a national survey of tenure-track faculty in which NCSU participated. You might want to read the "Memo to Users" first, since navigating the reports can be daunting. Please note in particular race/ethnicity and gender differences included in the "Summary Report." (this links to a UPA website)

• The Academic Pipeline at NCSU, 2005 (data provided by UPA, any errors in the figures are my own -- MG) :
  • For African American, Hispanic, and Native Americans [.php file] [MSWord]
  • For Women [.php file][MSWord]
  These link to graphs of the percentage of degrees awarded to women and minority students and the percentage of faculty who are female or from underrepresented groups for each college at NCSU. Note: The graphs in the MSWord files are larger and easier to read, but some browsers do not display all 9 graphs in each set properly. If you have difficulty viewing the Word files, the .php file version is for you.

These figures give some idea where there may be blockages in the academic pipeline. They vary widely among the colleges and the patterns are quite different for women than for other underrepresented groups.

Disclaimer: The title "academic pipeline" is a bit of a misnomer, since the real pool for academic positions is national or international. NCSU assistant professors are not generally drawn from NCSU graduates. However the demographic composition of NCSU doctoral degrees granted serves as a surrogate for the national pool of doctoral degrees granted.
