Our second data source, the University of California Work and Family survey, provides additional data on differences in the ways that work and family issues affect men and women faculty parents and in the fertility patterns of men and women ladder-rank faculty. To understand better the importance of work and family issues in the lives of UC ladder-rank faculty and to test the effectiveness of existing family-friendly policies and resources, we designed and conducted the University of California Work and Family Survey, which included all nine active UC campuses (Fall-Winter 2002-2003 for UC Berkeley and Spring-Summer 2003 for the other eight active UC campuses). A total of 8,705 ladder-rank faculty with valid email addresses were surveyed and we achieved a 51% response rate to the 14-page survey (Mason, Stacy, and Goulden 2003). Robert M.
