Of the 33 tenure offers made this year, 17 have been accepted thus far, two of those by women. Three have been turned down, one of those by a woman. The remaining 13 offers, six of which went to women, are still pending.
Harvard also made 66 non-tenure offers this year, with 25 of those—or 38 percent—going to women.
Unlike with tenure offers, there has not been a downward trend in the number of non-tenure offers made to women since Summers took office.
During Summers’ first year, 31 percent of non-tenure offers went to women. That number decreased to 23 percent the next year, but increased to 35 percent last year.
Forty-six of this year’s non-tenure offers have been accepted thus far, 19 of them by women. Twelve offers have been turned down, three of those by women. Eight offers, three of which went to women, are still pending.
