Forty-five thousand academic lines under $4.7M
$4,703,898 is the occupation-level dollar total. 45,772 is the itemization count. 964 is the donor-record count. Mean contribution size is about $103. Mean dollars per donor record are about $4,880. Repeat giving is about 47 itemizations per donor record.
45,772 lines from 964 records is a high-repeat pattern: a modest academic-title pool generating many schedules. The per-line mean of about $103 is among the smaller means in this harvest band, so the contribution count is the number that explains how $4.7M accumulated.
These means are not typical-check estimates. The packet has no tenure field, no public-versus-private campus split, and no gift-size distribution. A few large lines can still sit inside a low average.
College professor is not professor
PROFESSOR, UNIVERSITY PROFESSOR, and ADJUNCT PROFESSOR — if those strings exist as separate keys — are not rolled into this total unless the bulk extract normalized them to COLLEGE PROFESSOR. This page cites only $4,703,898, 45,772 contributions, and 964 donors.
The FEC does not verify a faculty appointment, a tenure file, or a campus HR record. Community-college faculty, four-year faculty, and people who typed COLLEGE PROFESSOR as a catch-all academic title can all appear. Occupation is published as reported on FEC.gov.
