Percentage representation of women and URPOC faculty in total and disaggregated ranks across several academic years. Academic years are labeled according to the final year of the pair; e.g., AY 16-17 is noted as 2017. For women faculty, the data corresponds to that listed in Table 1 and is longitudinal for the same top 50 departments listed in the 2015 NSF data set, except for the congruent data in 2007 from the Nelson study of ref (20). For URPOC faculty, the data corresponds to that listed in Table 2 and is longitudinal for the same top 50 departments listed in the 2016 NSF data set. Fits to the representation of women and URPOC professors across all ranks have coefficients of determination, R², equal to 0.97 and 0.96, respectively, and slopes as noted in the legend.
