In the period 2000-2004, despite recruitment of more women and the promotion, retirements and resignations of both male and female academic staff, the situation has generally not improved (Figure 9). Comparison of the data for male staff members shows a general progression through the academic ranks with a trend of increasing number of professors despite retirements (e.g. see Figure 9). The female staff including those who have been long term employees (>10 years) of the University have not been promoted at the same rate as their male colleagues. In the period 1990-95 on average ~45% of male teaching staff were associate professors and professors. In 2004, 90% of male teaching staff were associate professors and professors. All female teaching staff including long term employees were lecturers and senior lecturers. The only female professor is relatively recently recruited ARC Federation Fellow (research academic).
