Faculty demographics in the top 50 Chemistry Departments and in the Top 100 Chemistry Departments, as they have changed over the last decade, will be presented.  Faculty headcount, disaggregated by race/ethnicity, by rank, and by gender, were obtained by surveying chemistry department chairs.  Chemistry data will be compared versus analogous data for 14 other science and engineering disciplines -- math, computer science, physics, astronomy, chemical engineering, civil engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, economics, political science, sociology, biology, psychlogy, and earth science.  In each survey, whole populations were obtained, which means that even groups with headcounts of zero, such as underrepresented minority women and Native Americans can be reliably measured, compared across disciplines, and reported.
