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 adjunts 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 comumn with a total Time at Institution of 10.8 years.
