AAUP Faculty Gender Equity Indicators 2006
Source: American Association of University Professors
From press release: “This report is the latest in a series of AAUP initiatives aimed at improving the status of women faculty, dating from the formation of AAUP’s Committee W on the Status of Women in College and University Faculties in 1918. Over the intervening decades there has been considerable progress—yet equity remains elusive. Thirty-four years after Congress passed Title IX in 1972, prohibiting sex discrimination in education, women earned more than half of all graduate degrees awarded in 2004. Yet, among other findings, the AAUP report indicates that women occupied about 9 percent of full professor positions at four-year colleges and universities in 1972, and were still only 24 percent of all full professors in 2003.”
