In a December 2020 data snapshot, IPEDS Data on Full-Time Women Faculty and Faculty of Color, the AAUP's research department provides an updated demographic profile of full-time faculty by academic rank and institution type, highlighting disparities among women and people of color in an effort to analyze demographic breakdowns and salary differences. The snapshot draws upon data from the provisional release of the Fall 2018 Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS) Human Resources survey component and from foundational research by Martin Finkelstein, Jack Schuster, and Valerie Conley to understand the demographic breakdown of the faculty and the disparities that persist. The snapshot includes the data visualizations in the figures below in addition to explanatory text and supplemental tables.
