  1. Salary Equity: College of Arts & Sciences Mitzi Schumacher, Chair PCW Economic Opportunity Subcommittee

  2. Subcommittee Members • Julia Ellis, PCW, later switched to staff subcommittee • Kim Drummond, PCW • Mindy Sudduth, PCW • Kelly Bevins, VP C. Ray’s Office • Diane Gagel, Information Specialist

  3. Data • Pilot colleges for developing web-based salary study: A&S and Education • Information from HRS and Faculty Database, Diane Gagel • Grouped Instructors & Lecturers, Assistant, Associate and full Professors • Deleted 1 provost, 2 deans, 1 associate dean, 14 chairs, 3 acting chairs • Grouped departments • Humanities: English, Hispanic Studies, History, Modern & Classical Languages, Philosophy • Physical Sciences: Aerospace Studies, Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Mathematics, Physics & Astronomy • Social Sciences: Anthropology, Geography, Military Science, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology, Statistics

  4. Analysis Plan • List data elements • Develop templates for graphing data • Balance generalizing graphs for the templates, yet tailoring graphs for each of the 18 colleges specific situations • Analysis of representation to examine proportion of women • Analysis of compensation to examine equal pay for women • Explore any trends in data

  5. Representation: Humanities

  6. Physical Sciences

  7. Social Sciences

  8. Percent women at each rank for each department grouping

  9. Representation of Women in A&S • Humanities & Social Sciences have long had predominant numbers of women graduate students in the faculty pipeline – surprising (shocking) lack of women faculty • Physical Sciences is “unsurprising” • At Instructor/Lecturer level equal females/males, but clearly at Associate/Full Professor level males outnumber females • Potential glass ceiling at instructor/lecturer level for humanities and at associate level for social sciences

  10. Compensation: Humanities

  12. Physical Sciences

  13. …individually…

  14. Social Sciences

  15. …individually…

  16. Bar graphs show: Median differences are few and just as likely to favor women Full professor women in humanities and social science make more than men – but not in physical sciences (94.8%) Associate professor women in social sciences make less than men (92.3%) Scatter plots show: Low numbers of women – with less spread than men in salaries Especially evident for full professors in physical sciences None-salaried higher ranked faculty are men 9 month salaries may not be a problem for most women 9 Month Salary Summary

  17. Time in Rank: Humanities

  18. Time in Rank: Physical Sciences

  19. Time in Rank: Social Sciences

  20. Time in Rank & Salary Summary • Women have much shorter time in rank – more recent pipeline? Or “survivors” are more likely to advance and/or leave? • Few general downward slopes show salary compressions – but may not be as problematic as thought • Greatest concern is for associates with time in ranks of greater than 10 years – problems with advancement particularly in social sciences

  21. Added Compensation: Humanities

  22. … Physical Sciences

  23. …Social Sciences

  24. …individually

  25. Added Compensation: Summary • Unlike salaries, large median differences in humanities and social sciences • women make 64.9%, 84.1% and 51.2% as men assistants, associates and full professors in humanities; • Women make 75.4%, 90.9% and 80.5% as men assistants, associates and full professors in social sciences • How do men and women make their added compensation?

  26. …what is Added Compensation?

  27. Added Compensation: Summary • Added compensation includes all other sources of income from university – predominantly summer teaching and research dollars • Men advantaged in humanities and social sciences in teaching but not in research – accounts for differences in earnings • Research dollars from summer grants are usually percentages of base salary dollars, so women have a “double whammy” when they are paid less than men

  28. Distribution of Effort

  29. DOE: Summary • Surprisingly men teach more… • Associate and full professor women do more administrative work…not recognized as fte administrators • May prevent promotion and be uncompensated • Requires further consideration.

  30. Overall… • Surprising lack of senior women in A&S • Economic opportunities not as equal as assumed – especially for opportunities to supplement base salary with added compensation • Clearly equity is a campus-wide concern • Useful pilot college • Potential for more analyses and for increasing awareness so that policies may be changed
