SALARYEQUITY

Institutions may consider adopting this framework for gender equity:

FIGURE 1:



In addition to applying a gender-equity framework, institutions should leverage additional broad frameworks for institutional equity.

One such framework from the University of Southern California’s Center for Urban Education (2018) encourages institutions to adopt

”equity-mindedness” where their practices are:

EVIDENCE- BASED

RACE- CONSCIOUS

SYSTEMATICALLYAWARE

INSTITUTIONALLY FOCUSED

EQUITY- ADVANCING

SEVEN-YEAR PROMOTION OUTCOMES FOR FULL-TIME FIRST-TIME ASSISTANT PROFESSORS AND FIRST-TIME

ASSOCIATE PROFESSORS IN ACADEMIC YEAR 2008-2009

The percentage of full-time women faculty who advanced in rank during a seven-year period was smaller than that for men during the same period.

KEY TAKEAWAY

Note: Each full-time faculty member whose initial assistant professor appointment or initial associate professor appointment began at any point from July 1, 2008, through June 30, 2009, was tracked for seven years to determine promotion outcomes. The total number of faculty in each initial cohort is in parentheses above. Percentages may not sum to 100% due to rounding.

Comparisons of Faculty Compensation by Gender

FY 2017 MEDIAN COMPENSATION IN CENTS ON THE DOLLAR FOR WOMEN ACROSS MEDICAL SCHOOLS

Across a large majority of medical schools, analysis of median total compensation indicated that women were paid less than men.

KEY TAKEAWAY

Note: Thirteen outlier institutions were removed: 8 schools did not provide gender data for the FSS; 2 schools above and below the endpoints were removed; and 3 schools with less than 50 FT faculty, per the 2017 snapshot of the Faculty Roster, were removed. Median cents on the dollar amounts, per the FSS, exclude chairs, chiefs, and instructors. Full-time faculty counts in the Faculty Roster include faculty at professor, associate, assistant, instructor, and other ranks.
