How much did Educator Professor donors give in 2014?

FEC.gov aggregates show $1,177,800 in itemized individual contributions for the Educator Professor grouping in the 2014 cycle, from 41 contributions and 2 donors. The label is a self-reported title bucket, not a university PAC.

Why are there only two donors?

The aggregate counts 2 contributor identities matching this occupation-style key in 2014. Forty-one contributions still appear, so the money arrived as many itemized lines from those two identities. Other teachers may have listed a school name that does not match this key.

What share of the Educator Professor total is 2014?

The grouping’s all-cycle sum is $10,041,159. $1,177,800 divided by that figure is about 11.7%. Other cycles are not listed on this page.

Where is the overlay for this occupation-cycle join?

Open Educator Professor 2014 for the table, Educator Professor for the grouping hub, and the 2014 election cycle for the year without this title filter. All FEC ties collects other two-dimension pages.

Educator Professor filings and the 2014 FEC cycle

The Educator Professor grouping recorded $1,177,800 in itemized individual contributions during the 2014 FEC cycle, according to FEC.gov aggregates. Those dollars arrived in 41 contributions from two donors. Educator Professor is an occupation-style text bucket, not a university payroll and not a union PAC. This page joins that combined title string to the 2014 two-year window so a two-person cell can be read as a join rather than as a census of faculty. Two identities produced 41 itemized lines, so the contribution count must not be read as a faculty headcount or as a university payroll extract.

Key figures

Educator Professor × 2014 is $1,177,800 in itemized individual contributions.
Two donors made 41 contributions in that cell.
2014 is about 11.7% of the grouping’s $10,041,159 all-cycle total.
The key is a concatenated title string, not a university employer.
The join does not rank occupations or assign motive.

Two donors at Educator Professor × 2014

LobbyVault’s industry keys include occupation-like strings that appear often enough to form buckets. Educator Professor is one of those buckets, built from concatenated title text rather than from a Department of Education taxonomy. Crossing it with 2014 keeps every other occupation and every other cycle out of the dollar total. The result is $1,177,800 from two contributor identities.

The same grouping, added across all stored cycles, is $10,041,159. The 2014 slice is about 11.7% of that stack. A midterm cell that is roughly one-ninth of a title bucket, yet collapses to two donors, is a concentration pattern. It is not a ranking of universities and not a statement that professors as a class funded 2014.

What the concatenated title actually captures

Donors type titles. Some write professor, some write educator, some write both words in one field. This key is the rollup as stored, not a survey of higher education. People who listed a university name as employer land on institution keys, not here. Mixing this page with Stanford University or another school join would double-count or mis-attribute dollars.

Two donors made 41 contributions. That is about 20.5 itemized lines per identity — a filing pattern of many receipts, not 41 people. The overlay for Educator Professor 2014 is the row view. This prose does not name the two identities.

Treat $10,041,159 as the denominator for the 11.7% share. Other cycles under the same title key may look broader; they are not imported here. Neighboring occupation strings such as teacher or faculty, if they exist as keys, are separate pages.

Arithmetic in a two-person cell

Dividing $1,177,800 by 41 contributions yields about $28,727 per itemized gift. Dividing by two donors yields $588,900 per donor. Those means will move if either identity is reclassified. They are not a typical academic’s political budget and they are not a median.

A two-donor cell is closer to a person-level timeline than to an occupation census. Most people who taught in 2014 never appear in itemized FEC records. The 41-contribution count should not be mistaken for 41 faculty members. Twenty-and-a-half lines per donor is why 41 contributions must never be quoted as 41 professors on a payroll extract from this join.

2014 without a faculty scoreboard

The 2014 election cycle hub includes every stored employer and occupation for that window. Educator Professor is one row in that matrix. Nothing in $1,177,800 ranks educators against attorneys or executives. Comparisons require other joins, each with their own facts.

Open the 2014 election cycle to drop the occupation filter, and Educator Professor to drop the year. All FEC ties lists sibling relationship pages. None of them inherit the two-donor count from this cell.

Caveats for a title bucket

Occupation fields are messy. Combined strings, abbreviations, and school names fragment the same real-world jobs across keys. Itemization thresholds hide smaller gifts. Unitemized receipts and independent expenditures sit outside $1,177,800.

Do not read the join as evidence that professors funded the 2014 midterm. The records show a text match and a date window. Federal grant data in another database is a different universe; FEC itemized gifts do not fund those awards by sharing a year.

Keeping the two identities in 2014

Start with $1,177,800, then the overlay, then Educator Professor or the 2014 election cycle if a dimension needs to drop. That path keeps two filters and one cell.

The two-donor count, 41 contributions, and 11.7% share versus $10,041,159 belong to this intersection. Carry them onto a university employer page and the arithmetic stops being a fact from this packet. Cite $1,177,800 only with the two-donor caveat attached. The 11.7 percent share of $10,041,159 describes this title key in 2014, not Stanford University or any other campus employer. Title buckets and school-name keys answer different questions even when the same person might have typed both on a form.
