The Michigan Daily: Female profs paid less
Female faculty members at the University make less money than male faculty members on average, according to a study released by the Office of the Provost on May 18.
The study used statistical models to predict faculty salaries. One analysis revealed that female faculty members make 2.5 percent less than their male counterparts.
The pay gap based on gender reflects a national trend of lower salaries for women at universities across the country. The American Association of University Professors released data in 2006 showing that women in academia generally earn 81 percent of what men earn.
