Colorado State University study: minorities and female professors earn less
Colorado State University is paying its female full professors almost 5 percent less than males and minority associate professors 5.4 percent less than their white counterparts this fiscal year, according to a report from its Salary Equity Committee released Monday.
It also found that the gap between female and male full professors appeared to be closing during the past five years. The gap for female full professors went from about 92 percent of males' salaries to about 95 percent.
But the gap for some minority faculty is widening. Minority associate professors were earning about 98 percent of what their white colleagues were in the 2013 fiscal year and now earn about 94.6 percent of those peers.
The release of this report comes two years after a statistics professor discovered potential gender-based pay discrepancy among full professors and a week after another CSU committee unveiled "troubling" findings about how female faculty are treated on campus, as President Tony Frank put it.
