Tenure Activity over a Two-Year Period (2010–11 & 2011–12)

† Some of the departments classified as LLE for HDS-1 have been reclassified as CLS for HDS-2. Any comparisons are made using only departments classified as LLE for both HDS-1 and HDS-2.
Note: For the disciplines included in both HDS-1 and HDS-2, only those departments included in the 2007–08 sample are included in the 2012 sample. Thus, these numbers cannot reflect data for any departments that may have been created in the interim.
