The Committee on the Status of Women in the Profession, as part of the committee's Associate Professor Project, has written a report presenting findings of the MLA's 2006 survey of MLA members who hold the rank of professor and associate professor and teach English or other modern languages in United States colleges and universities. The data reveal differences in the career paths and progress of men and women in the fields of language and literature represented in the MLA, including the number of years spent at the rank of associate professor before promotion to professor; time devoted to research, teaching, service, and other professional activities; time given to personal commitments such as child care, elder care, and other family responsibilities; views of tenure and promotion; and job satisfaction.
