# Rounds to zero. ! Interpret data with caution. Standard error is more than one-third the estimate. ‡ Reporting standards not met; too few cases to report. NOTE: This table shows, for example, that 24.2 percent of teaching faculty at public 4-year institutions in 2003–04 were professors, and 56.4 percent were tenured or on a tenure track. There were approximately 1,040,000 teaching faculty in 4-year and 2-year institutions in 2003-04. Detail may not sum to totals because of rounding.
