Professor (occupation) and the 2012 FEC cycle

What this Professor 2012 cell is

This cell is Professor money inside 2012, not Professor money forever and not 2012 money from every employer. FEC.gov puts $343,058 at that crossing, from 580 itemized contributions and 143 donors.

The string PROFESSOR is self-reported title, not a faculty roster. Neighboring labels are other pages. This file does not invent donor names, recipient committees, or dollar amounts beyond the packet.

Readers comparing hubs should remember the missing key. The Professor hub lacks 2012. The 2012 hub lacks Professor. This page has both, totaling $343,058.

Share of the stored Professor total

Stored Professor contributions sum to $4,764,599. The 2012 window holds $343,058, about 7.2%. Other cycles hold $4,421,541 (92.8%). The share is a ratio, not a verdict.

Because spellings split, $4,764,599 can undercount a real-world organization and overcount a popular generic word. Either way, the ratio 7.2% uses only this string’s facts. Share language on this page always means $343,058 as a fraction of $4,764,599 (about 7.2%), never as a fraction of all 2012 FEC receipts. No cycle-wide denominator is in the facts. The remainder inside the grouping is $4,421,541.

Arithmetic on the 2012 cell

The 2012 cell’s volume stats are 580 contributions, 143 donors, and $343,058. Derived means are $591 per line and $2,399 per donor, with about 4.1 contributions per donor.

Those derived figures use only packet facts. No median, no party split, and no recipient ranking is available here. The donor count 143 and the contribution count 580 should be cited together with $343,058. Omitting volume makes a large or small mean invisible. Derived means are $591 per line and $2,399 per donor.

Professor inside the 2012 matrix

Inside the 2012 matrix, Professor occupies one cell: $343,058. Other cells are other strings. This packet names only this cell’s contribution count (580) and donor count (143).

Use the 2012 election cycle link to leave the occupation filter. Use the Professor link to leave the year. Use the overlay to see rows for this cell. Two-year FEC windows collect itemized receipts from both years. 2012 is that window. Election-night totals are a different grain and are not computed here.

What this join refuses to claim

This join refuses donor names not in the packet, refuses a party split not in the packet, and refuses any claim that FEC itemized gifts fund USAspending awards. What it reports is $343,058 from 580 contributions and 143 donors for Professor in 2012.

If the overlay and this JSON differ, trust the overlay and FEC.gov. This prose is a packet snapshot of the two-dimension cell. Professor is self-reported title, not a faculty roster. The FEC does not certify payroll, licenses, or tribal enrollment on this aggregate. Neighboring strings remain other pages. $343,058 is the exact-string 2012 cell.

Closing the Professor × 2012 record

Record: Professor (PROFESSOR) in FEC cycle 2012 totaled $343,058 in itemized individual contributions (580 lines, 143 donors), about 7.2% of $4,764,599 stored for the string. Source: FEC.gov.

The join is self-reported title, not a faculty roster crossed with a two-year cycle. It is not a university PAC, an academic NAICS rollup, or neighboring titles such as assistant professor stored as other keys. Neighboring keys and other datasets stay off this total. Keep USAspending out of the sentence that reports $343,058. Keep PAC disbursements out. Keep unitemized gifts out. The authorized dollars are itemized individual contributions matching PROFESSOR in 2012. Restating the join without new numbers: Professor in 2012 is $343,058 from 580 itemized individual contributions and 143 unique donors on FEC.gov. The same string stores $4,764,599 across cycles, so 2012 is about 7.2% and other windows hold $4,421,541 (92.8%). The grouping is self-reported title, not a faculty roster, not a university PAC, an academic NAICS rollup, or neighboring titles such as assistant professor stored as other keys. No donor names, recipient committees, party split, or USAspending dollars are in this packet. Live overlay pages override this snapshot. Mean gift size is about $591; mean per donor about $2,399; about 4.1 contributions per donor. Those means are arithmetic, not medians. The two-year FEC window tagged 2012 can include receipts from both years. Independent expenditures remain outside $343,058.
