final reports of two nds (fy2002 and fy2007) are given online. each of these reports analyzes the nds data collected that fiscal year, by using summary tables which compare the nds data at the discipline level. a summary table showing data for asians from the fy2007 nds is given in figure 2. this summary table provides, by discipline, the representation of asians as a percentage of bs recipients, phd recipients, assistant professors, associate professors, full professors, and all professors. analogous summary tables were created, which provided data for blacks, hispanics, native americans, women, and white males. such nds summary tables enabled the first quantification of women proceeding through the academic stem “pipeline” from bs to full professor, and they were used by women's groups and organizations widely.
