ABSTRACT: This report presents data from the West Chester
University segment of a 16-year longitudinal study of
female faculty in the state system and its 14 universities.
The study is designed to address the following questions:
What are the numbers and distribution among professional
ranks of female faculty prior to the State System's 1988
affirmative action plan? Have the number and percentage of
female faculty remained constant? Are female faculty
represented equitably at each professional rank? The
information permits comparisons in the following areas: (1)
the numbers and percentages of full-time faculty by sex as
related to the numbers and percentages for West Chester
alone, the State System as a whole, and similar Category
II-A and II-B public universities; (2) the distribution of
full-time faculty among professional ranks by sex as
related to the numbers and percentages for West Chester,
the State System, and similar Category II-A and II-B public
universities; (3) the numbers and percentages of full-time
faculty at each professorial rank by sex as related to the
numbers and percentages for West Chester, the State System,
and similar Category II-A and II-B; (4) student full-time
equivalent enrollment (FTE) by enrollment status and sex
for West Chester and the State System; and (5) ratios of
full-time total faculty to undergraduate student FTE
enrollment by sex for West Chester and the State System. An
appendix contains a summary of a sex discrimination
complaint. Contains 26 references. (GLR)
