Re: Request for help finding data: # faculty in STEM disciplines from variety of institutions

The most recent IPEDS data from NCES should be able to give you a
reasonable estimate using the Peer Analysis System:
http://nces.ed.gov/ipeds/. You may need to log in to the
"institution level" which requires a password. Call NCES to get it.
