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

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 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
