Representation of Women in AS

• 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

9 Month Salary Summary

• 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

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

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 worknot recognized as fte
  administrators
• May prevent promotion and be uncompensated
• Requires further consideration.

30
Overall

• Surprising lack of senior women in AS
• 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
