How long is an average faculty work week? Are long hours confined to assistant professors striving for tenure? Can faculty wait until after earning tenure to have children? What's the relationship of faculty time demands to gender gaps in earnings and rank?

Winslow of the University of Pennsylvania set out to answer these and related questions using data from the 1992 and 1998 National Survey of Post-Secondary Faculty and the 1990 U.S. census. They focused on faculty in four-year schools.
