Note: There were 755 tenure decisions reported by 319 departments that reported having at least
one tenure case during the two years of the study. In 631 of those tenure decisions, the
candidate was a man. In 124 decisions, the candidate was a female. We deleted 37 cases in
which the candidate was a woman but the department reported having no female tenure-track
faculty at the assistant or associate professor levels. Thus there are only 87 tenure decisions
involving women.
The column labeled Tenure shows the number of decisions that were positive, while the column
labeled Not tenured shows the number of negative decisions. There were five decisions for which
information about the stop-the-clock policy was missing that involved women and 19 decisions that
involved men.
