This year’s faculty data cover diversity, faculty characteristics, and pay. New this year is a table on the ratio of graduate assistants to faculty members at public and private doctoral and master’s institutions. Salary changes for full-time faculty members were fairly consistent across all institution types, while the percentage of faculty members on the tenure track varies. Tenured faculty members are still mostly male and mostly white, and salaries for male and female instructional staff at four-year institutions have still not reached parity.

Here’s a sampling of statistics researched by The Chronicle data team.

Even though nearly a third of full-time instructional-staff members at four-year public and private nonprofit institutions had no tenure status in the fall of 2017, at many colleges, students had a high chance of being taught at some point by tenured or tenure-track professors.
