            Musicology; Ethnomusicology; Western Hemisphere; History of Jazz;

Comments on Appendix Table A

Comments refer only to the data reported for number of faculty members.

Rank    Comment
   5    Composers were apparently excluded

   8    The reported number does not correspond either to the narrow or broad
        definitions of "Doctoral-Research Programs"

  15    May include emeritus professors, or all faculty

  17    Three lecturers in Music History/Musicology may have been counted

  18    The three numbers represent the Dept. of Music (Ph.D. in Composition only);
        the Dept. of Ethnomusicology and Systematic Musicology; and the Dept. of
        Musicology. It is plain that the faculty members of the Dept. of Music were
        counted, even though their program awards no Ph.D. in Theory, Musicology or
        Ethnomusicology. The eight faculty members teaching in those areas in the Dept.
        of Music are included with "Professors Outside Field."

  20    Only Musicology/Music History were reported, omitting Music Theory (as
        well as Ethnomusicology, which is taught in the Anthropology Dept.)

  21    All fields were counted

36.5    USC: Reported count apparently omitted 7 Music Theory professors

  40    Three "adjunct professors" may have been counted

  49    Four adjuncts may have been counted
