Note: Time at Institution takes into account all tenure-line years worked at Hunter College for each professor as of 30 June 2005. (Some faculty members began working at Hunter College as adjuncts or substitutes before being hired in a tenure-track positions. This time is not included in our calculations.) Only full-time tenured or tenure-track faculty who were employed at Hunter 8/31/2004 - 6/30/2005 (both Fall04 and Spring05 Semesters) were included in the analyses.   Faculty members who were on sabbaticals or childcare leave for either semester would still be included.
Example: A female Assistant Professor hired on 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 12.8 years.
