Though we lack overall faculty demographic data, our respondents appear to be more male (66 percent), older (31 percent are thirty years or more since their PhD; 49 percent are between fifty and seventy years old), and more senior than what might be expected in the general faculty population (72 percent are tenure-track; 30 percent are full professor). Also, we have high representation from certain schools/faculties (23 percent engineering, 18 percent law, 15 percent business, and 11 percent public health) and low representation in others (no representation from art and design, education, kinesiology, nursing, and pharmacy).
