2/01/2018 | General Description
- Committee is standing and joint with ASA, MAA, and SIAM
- Number of voting slots is ten: 4 appointed by AMS, 3 by MAA, 2 by ASA, and 1 by SIAM
- One non-voting AMS staff member serves ex officio to support the Committee
- Voting member term is three years
- Voting members are appointed by the presidents of the respective societies; the Committee selects a chair
Principal Activities
The Joint Data Committee studies the continuing and long-range needs of the mathematical sciences community, and it makes recommendations concerning ongoing and new data collection and analysis efforts that will insure reliable and timely information about the profession that is usable by the memberships of the societies represented on the Committee, the mathematical community, and the wider national and international communities. The Committee advises the AMS staff regarding its activities to gather and analyze data, interpret results, and disseminate information pertaining to the mathematical sciences community. These staff activities include the collection and interpretation of data on the employment of mathematical scientists, annual production of PhDs in the mathematical sciences, starting salaries, faculty salaries, graduate programs, and undergraduate programs. Together these activities constitute the Annual Survey of the Mathematical Sciences, the results of which are published in several reports throughout the year in the Notices of the AMS and other venues.
Other Activities
The Committee maintains liaisons with other professional societies, business, industry, government, educational institutions, and various extra-academic organizations to sustain a broad perspective on activities connected with mathematics.
The Committee reports to the AMS Council annually on its activities.
Member Society Responsibilities
Member societies make financial contributions to defray the costs of administering the Annual Survey and to support Committee members' travel to one annual meeting. Members of the Committee keep their respective societies apprised of committee activities, and specifically should foster awareness of the publication of new reports on the Annual Survey.
Miscellaneous Information
The Chair of the Committee typically co-authors each of the regularly published reports related to the Annual Survey and therefore works closely with AMS staff members who provide professional and clerical support for the Committee. It is desirable for at least some members to have statistical expertise.

4/14/2017 | To make recommendations on issues involving mathematical sciences faculty in academic departments, as well as the work of those departments. These recommendations will come through the writing of statements for publication, in consultation with other germane MAA committees that reflect best practices in the mathematical community on a variety of current and emerging matters. The goal of these statements is to guide faculty, department chairs, administrators, and members of the Association to make informed decisions. The committee will work with the Council on the Profession and MAA staff to determine the format and distribution of these statements.
Among the issues to be addressed by these guideline statements are:
- Promoting excellence in teaching, scholarship, and service
- Standards for employment, tenure, promotion, and other types of evaluation
- Course staffing, teaching loads, and class size
- Recruiting and sustaining a diverse faculty
- Faculty rewards, compensation, and recognition
- Use of technology
- Professional development, including activities for department chairs
- Professional ethics
- Role of non-tenure-track faculty in departments
- Relationships with client disciplines (e.g. engineering), including identifying who has responsibility within institutions for teaching mathematics courses
- Allocation and use of resources, including budget, space, library, and equipment
- Support staff
The committee is expected to publish at least one guidelines statement per year.
In addition, the committee will be available to the Association and the broader mathematical community for consultation on issues of concern to faculty in academic departments.
