11 The data available from Profile of Society Membership of the Acoustical Society of America, http://asa.aip.org/prof_members. html, accessed May 19, 2010, do not allow us to disaggregate international ASA members from U.S. resident members.
12 As with our weighting when examining women in acoustics, we continue to weight by subject area and by highest degree to match the ASA membership profile.
13 We use these two time frames because the data were not collect-
ed by detailed academic subjects prior to 1995. Just as the pro- portion of women in acoustics increased during this time frame, we see that the more recent group is more diverse with respect to ethnicity. We would expect the graduates from even earlier periods to be less diverse.

16 Ethnicity data is for U.S. citizens and permanent residents only, so these comparisons hold only for the U.S. membership of the ASA.
