Web-based exercise. The chapter-opening Case Study gave information on faculty by gender and rank at Purdue University for the 2005–2006 academic year. Similar data can be found for other universities.

Search the Web to find the number of faculty by rank and gender at another university. Do you see the same patterns as were noted for the Purdue University data? We found several sources by doing a Google search on “faculty headcount by rank and gender.”
