1000-1890 FACULTY AND STAFF: FTE, Headcount All and Headcount Women
Source: October Paymaster file frozen one day after the October payroll calculation. All non-zero-percent appointments active on October 20 are selected.

Because of the very large number of graduate assistants with more than one type of assistantship in more than one department, headcounts of graduate assistants are not broken out by type of assistantship. It is also important to note that the home department of graduate assistants tends to be the first department that ever hired the student and may have no relation to the current appointments held by that student. Appointments are categorized into employee groups using the following rules:

Academic Staff
All appointments of persons in employee group A. Equals the sum of Tenure System Faculty, Visiting Faculty, Postdoctoral Research Associates, Other Faculty, and Academic Professionals.

Academic Staff =
Tenure System Faculty + Visiting Faculty + Postdoc Res Assoc + Other Instrctnl Staff + Acad Professionals

Tenure System Faculty
An appointment with a tenure code of A, 1-7, Q, or K is considered tenured or on tenure-track. In addition, appointments with rank/class codes starting with "RCE" (chairs or endowed professorships) are included, regardless of the tenure code assigned to the appointment. Department heads and chairs are included (tenure code=K) but visitors and permanent faculty on leave without pay are excluded. Includes instructors and several administrators who were "grandfathered" in with tenure. Includes regular, library, and cooperative extension faculty. In addition to the "grandfathered" administrators, the major subdivisions of Tenure System Faculty include the following titles and rank codes:

Professors: The appointment rank code must be BB
Associate Professors: The appointment rank code must be BC
Assistant Professors: The appointment rank code must be BD

Note: The sum of the professorial ranks may be less than that reported for Tenure System Faculty due to including "grandfathered" persons.

Visiting Faculty
All appointments with tenure code of T, N, or W and rank of DB, DC, DD (visiting professor, visiting associate professor, visiting assistant professor). Regular, library, and cooperative extension faculty are included.

Postdoctoral Research Assoc
All appointments with rank code of BG or DG.

Other Instrctnl Staff
Other instructional staff. All other persons in employee group A with a rank code beginning with R. Includes lecturers, instructors, research and teaching associates, visiting scholars, artists in residence, aviation education specialists, assistant and associate heads and chairs, ranked faculty with tenure code=W or T.

Academic Professional
All other appointments for academic employees (employee group=A) not counted above.

All assistants
Non-zero appointments for persons in employee group = G. Includes undergrad assistants, interns and residents. Teaching Assistants (TA), Research Assistants (RA), and Graduate Assistants (GA) are listed separately.

Civil Service staff
Appointments of persons with staff appointments (employee group=N).

1860/1890 Headcount Women Employees
The number of women employees with a non-zero appointment active on October 20. Headcounts are by the employee's home department, not appointing department, and may vary significantly from the FTE by appointing department for that reason. All counts based on gender are done in the same manner as described above for counts of all employees.
