NOTES: There were 755 tenure decisions reported by 319 departments that reported having at least 1 tenure case during the 2 years of the study. In 631 of those tenure decisions, the candidate was a man. In 124 decisions, the candidate was a woman. 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 Tenured 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-tenure-clock policy was missing that involved women and 19 decisions that involved men.
