During the last 50 years universities have undergone a dramatic change which may be described as the transformation from elite to mass higher education. Usually these developments are quantified by referring to student numbers, and vol. 8 of the data handbook on German educational history (Göttingen: V&R, 1908) follows this approach. Vol. 10 of the same data handbook may be considered as a supplement to vol. 8, because it turns around the perspective and studies the personnel employed at the universities. Again it is “growth” and “structural change”, which are obvious characteristics as soon as the personnel of the emerging mass university becomes subject of a statistical description. Vol. 10 of the data handbook does so by dealing separately with the following variables:
- personnel grouped by status and functions (senior and junior faculty, assistants etc.)
- subjects of teaching and research
- gender
- age
- annual habilitations (second theses)
- employment (full or part time)
- sources of income (budget, contract money)
Empirically; the data come from the annual publications of the Statistische Bundesamt. The data have been reorganized into time series which subsequently are presented by some 300 tables (on CD) as well as by some 150 figures (included into the text).
