Note:

These tables were created using data obtained from Facilities Management & Planning, ICIT (Instructional Computing and Information Technology), the Office of the Dean of Arts and Science, and individual science departments. Only spaces assigned to full-time tenured or tenure-track faculty who were employed at Hunter during the 2003-2004 academic year were included.

Note:

Physics and Astronomy is not included in this analysis because there is only one woman in that department.

Note:

The percentages for all natural science and all social science are based on the mean of the means and mean of the medians.
