¹ Other includes American Indian, Alaska Native, those of more than one race, and those of other (unspecified) race. # 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 61.1 percent of teaching faculty at public 4-year institutions in 2003–04 were male. 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.
