Salary, Promotion, and Tenure Status of Minority and Women Faculty in U.S. Colleges and Universities

This report examines differences among postsecondary faculty members by gender and by race/ethnicity. Comparisons were made on several human capital (e.g., education and experience) and structural (e.g., academic discipline and institution type) variables, as well as faculty outcomes (salary, tenure, and rank). A multivariate analysis of factors associated with salary was also conducted. Male faculty in this group were compared to female faculty, and comparisons were also made among four racial/ethnic groups: black, non-Hispanic; white, non-Hispanic; Hispanic; and Asian/Pacific Islander. The statistics in this report were generated from the 1993 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty (NSOPF:93).
