Note: Median years in rank includes the time spent in rank for all current faculty as of 30 June
2003. N indicates the number of 2002-2003 science faculty members from that degree range who
have ever held that particular rank. (Current) indicates the number of faculty members in that
rank on 30 June 2003.
Example: A female Assistant Professor who finished her degree in 1992, was hired 1 September
1992, and promoted to Associate Professor on 1 January 1998, would be represented in both the
Assistant and Associate columns for women in degree year 1990-1994. She would be represented
in () for her current rank of Associate Professor only. Her full 5.3 years as an Assistant contribute
to the median of 4.3 and the 5.5 years she has currently been an Associate contribute to the
median of 4.5.

Note: Time at Institution takes into account all tenure-line years worked at Hunter College for each professor as
of 30 June 2003. (Some faculty members began working at Hunter College as adjuncts or substitutes before
being hired in a tenure-track position. This time is not included in our calculations.) These data were reported
by Martin Fenton in Hunter College's Department of Human Resources and retrieved from the CUPS database.
Example: A female Assistant Professor hired 1 September 1992 and promoted to Associate Professor on 1
January 1998 would be represented in the women Associate column with a total Time at Institution of 10.8 years.

Note: The Hunter web site, Judi Bubnell, Vita Rabinowitz, and Virginia Valian provided information
about the Hunter central administration. Administrators at Hunter do not hold faculty positions while
in administrative ranks. These tables represent those administrators whose backgrounds are in the
sciences (e.g., one administrator holds a JD and has not been a faculty member; this person was
not included in the table above).
Note: Judi Bubnell provided information about center directors on 8 April 2004. Only center
directors that are also Hunter science faculty are included on these tables (e.g., Director of Center
XXX is a Full Professor in Biology).

Departments were grouped into broader discipline categories (natural and
social sciences) instead of using individual departments to ensure that a
sufficient number of faculty fell into each category (discipline and rank); Natural
Science = 1
Note: The regression output was generated by SPSS 11.5.
Example: To predict the salary of a male assistant professor in the social sciences who has had his degree for 5 years
and has been in that rank for 2 years, look first at the constant term, $7150.46, listed in the first row in the Coefficients
table. Since the dummy variables were chosen as they were, the constant represents the salary for a male assistant
professor in the social sciences. Multiply 5 (Years since degree) by 793.8 and 2 (Time in current rank in years) by 271.71. Add these totals to the constant to get a more accurate estimate of salary. The outcome using these
unstandardized regression coefficients is $74966.04.

Note: Median split computed by finding the median square footage for each department and assigning each faculty a code to indicate if one was
above or below one’s department median. Faculty with allocated space equal to the median are not represented in these tables. Chi-square
analyses were performed of sex and median split to test if women were significantly above or below the median.

Note: The offer letter analysis includes letters from all 11 Hunter College Sciences for faculty who started
from Fall 1998 through Fall 2002. The analysis comprises 37 letters from 39 total hires in tenure bearing
titles (e.g., Assistant Professor or Associate Professor). For two faculty members, 1 woman and 1 man,
only internal memos regarding appointments to the College were sent to the GEP. Data for these two
people were not included.
Note: Redacted offer letters were obtained from the Office of the Dean of Arts and Sciences on 23 April
2004.
Note: b through i may not necessarily add up to the compliment of a because b though i are not mutually
exclusive.
Note: %Women is the percentage of letters to women. %Men is the percentage of letters to men.
%Total is the percentage of total letters.
