Results of a study by the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES) indicate that both the proportion of women on the faculties (at the ranks of professor and assistant professor) in New Jersey universities and four-year colleges, as well as the salaries of women faculty members compared to those of men, were generally greater than the national average for the academic year 1976-77. Data are presented on the proportion of women on college and university faculties in New Jersey and in the United States as a whole and on the percent difference between the average salary of women and men faculty members. Comparative data for New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania and for four-year and two-year colleges are provided. Tables compare the status of women on New Jersey college and university faculties with women in 14 comparable states. Comparative data are also presented on the status of women in New Jersey public and independent colleges and universities, in the United States as a whole, and in 14 comparable states. The NCES classification system showing the control and level of New Jersey institutions is included. (SW)
