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

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: Humanities
Time in Rank: Physical Sciences
Time in Rank: Social Sciences
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: Humanities

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?
…what is Added Compensation?
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
Distribution of Effort
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.
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
