Sex Differences in Faculty Salaries: A Cohort Analysis

This study draws upon human capital and structural perspectives to explore the extent to which the lower salaries observed for full-time faculty women compared to their male colleagues vary across different rank/experience cohorts. Descriptive and regression analyses are used to address the research questions. Data are from the 1993 National Study of Postsecondary Faculty. The analyses reveal that, among the ÒolderÓ faculty at each rank, women receive lower salaries than men even after controlling for other variables.
