Full-time by tenure status and gender

ℹ️Data tables used are FACULTY and FACHISTODETAILS.

The FACULTY table is used to qualify the faculty gender, as well as the time spent working at the institution (or campus).
The FACHISTODETAILS table is used to check the faculty’s status and working time on the census date selected for the report.

Total full-time :


The faculty’s gender is entered in the FAC_sex field of the FACULTY table.
The other values are taken from the FACHISTODETAILS table on the reference date. The teachers taken into account are therefore :

  • Active faculty members: the value indicated is ‘FAC_active’ on the report date.
  • Faculty members who work full-time for the institution (or campus): on thecensus date, the value entered in the FAC_timeComp (or FAC_time) column is > or = the Full time minimum percentage of activity entered for the report.

ℹ️ The FAC_time and FAC_timecomp values indicate the time dedicated to the mission for the institution. AACSB gives priority to the FAC_timecomp value, and considers the FAC_time value if the other is missing. Depending on how ACADEM is set up, it is possible to define the order of priority between FAC_time and FAC_timecomp, in order to establish the same prioritisation as the AACSB.

  • Faculty members who belong to the type of faculty member taken into account for the report: column FAC_type on the date of the report (affiliated, part-time, etc.).

Total number of full-time faculty members with research doctoral degrees


A selection criterion is added: among full-time faculty members, those with a research doctoral degree at the census date are taken into account.

ℹ️On uses the referential tables TYPEDEGREE and DEGREE, and the table FACDEG (which lists all the faculty member’s qualifications).

We consider active faculty members ➕ by gender ➕ full-time ➕ who correspond to the type of faculty taken into account for the report ➕ who have a research doctoral degree.

Here are the conditions for counting graduate teachers:

  • In the TYPEDEGREE table, the value VTAB_vn=1 indicates a degree level equivalent to a doctorate.
  • The faculty must have obtained a doctorate-level degree.
    In the FACDEG table, the value entered in the FDEG_degtype=1 field and in the FDEG_obtained = true field.
  • The degree must have been obtained before the census date
    Census date must be > the date on which the degree was obtained in FDEG_year

⚠️The doctorate must be considered as a research degree: the type of degree entered in the FACDEGREE table has a RESEARCH value in the VTAB_va2 field of the DEGREE table 👁️

Full-time faculty demographics by country/territory of origin or birthplace 

This table is used to assess the number of faculty members who come from the country of the institution (or campus), compared with those who come from other countries. In this way, we can assess the mix of faculty members origins.

ℹ️ The tables used are FACULTY and INSTITUTION (or CAMPUS)

Total – Host Country/Territory


The country of origin (place of birth) is the same as the country of the institution :

We consider active faculty members ➕ by gender ➕ full-time ➕ who correspond to the type of faculty taken into account for the report ➕ who originate from the country of the institution.

  • FAC_cnaiscountry (or FAC_natio1 if the cnaiscountry field is empty) is the same value as INST_country in the INSTITUTION table

Total – Other country/ territory or origin of birthplace


The country of origin (place of birth) is not the same as the country of the institution:

We consider active faculty members ➕ by gender ➕ full-time ➕ who correspond to the type of faculty taken into account for the report ➕ who do not originate from the country of the institution

  • FAC_cnaiscountry (or FAC_natio1 if the cnaiscountry field is empty) is not the same value as INST_country in the INSTITUTION table


⚠️ If the report has been downloaded at campus level, we look at the FAC_cnaiscountry table in relation to CAMP_country in the CAMPUS table.

Part-time faculty 

ℹ️ Data tables used are the FACULTY and FACHISTODETAILS tables

We consider active faculty members ➕ by gender ➕ which correspond to the type of faculty taken into account for the report ➕ who work part-time or FTE (Full Time Equivalent) at the census date.

Part-time faculty other than graduate teaching assistants

  • On the census date, the value entered in the FAC_timeComp or FAC_time column (depending on the ACADEM settings) is strictly lower than the percentage entered in the Full time minimum percentage of activity field.
  • On the census date, the FAC_gta field must be FALSE

Calculation of FTE (full-time equivalents) = percentage of working time / 100

Graduate teaching assistants who are teachers of record

  • On the census date, the value entered in the FAC_timeComp or FAC_time column (depending on the ACADEM settings) is strictly lower than the percentage entered in the Full time minimum percentage of activity field.
  • On the census date, the FAC_gta field is TRUE, AND FHIST_value=1


Calculation of FTE (full-time equivalents) = percentage of working time / 100

Total Full time + Part Time faculty 
  • Total of teachers in the academic year selected for the report
  • Total of teachers for the previous academic year
  • Total of FTE teachers for the year of the report
  • Total of FTE teachers in previous year
Participating and supporting faculty counts
