Note: These tables were created using data retrieved from the City University Personnel System (CUPS) database by Martin Fenton in Hunter College's Department of Human Resources on 20 April 2004. The data include all promotions and hires through 20 April 2004. Only full-time tenured or tenured-track faculty who were employed at Hunter 01 July 2002 - 30 June 2003 were included in the analyses. Distinguished Professors were added to the Full Professor category for analysis.

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.
