This paper presents four self-contained but interrelated reports concerning new and newly promoted professorial faculty at the University of Maryland at College Park (UMCP). The analyses were part of a study of the promotion and tenure of professorial faculty at UMCP that was conducted in 1990 by the Office of Institutional Studies. The first report, "New Faculty at UMCP, 1982-1988," analyzes selected characteristics of new UMCP tenured or tenure-track faculty, including class, rank, racial/ethnic group, sex, administrative status, and highest degree. The second report, "Newly Promoted Associate Professors, 1982-1990," analyzes selected characteristics of the 298 newly promoted associate professors at UMCP, including year promoted, racial/ethnic group, sex, and highest degree. The third report, "Hired-as-Associate Classes of 1982 to 1987," analyzes the award of tenure and the promotion to professorial rank for the 52 faculty who were hired as associate professors between 1982 and 1987. The fourth report, "Promoted-to-Associate Classes of 1982 to 1987," closely parallels the third by analyzing the promotion of associate professors to professor for those 207 faculty who had been promoted to associate professor between the years 1982 and 1987. Contains four references. (GLR)
