Salary gap

BUT HE SAID IT was possible that sex discrimination existed at KU.
Shankel said, "When you look at the data on an individual level, you find most of the (salary) differences can be explained on a basis of merit or rank."
But, he added. "There are some areas in which the differences can't be explained." And, he said, those are the areas that will be examined closely.
"I don't think we're intentionally, and I hope not unintentionally discriminating against people."
Shankel said he had instructed ORP to prepare the study, but there if was needed. The data were provided at KU.
SOME FACULTY MEMBERS were excluded from the study. Excluded were three faculty members hired since July 1, 1795 and faculty-administrators (deans, associate deans, directors of libraries and museums, etc.) who do more administrative work than
The study is divided by faculty level. professors and instructors, assistant professors and instructors
Salary levels used in the study were those of July 1, 1975. Faculty promoted since last August were reported at their new rank and salary levels.
At the full professor level, some comparisons can't be made because there aren't any women professors in some schools and colleges; the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
There aren't any women professors in the
Comparisons of salary differences could be made in only two schools at KU, the School of Education and the School of Fine Arts.
That decrease was the only one reported in the study. The other school and the three other areas within the College of Liberal Arts increased in salary differences over last year.
There are 86 men professors in the natural sciences.
In the School of Education, there are 26 men and 4 women professors. The men have an average of 9.1 years in-rank, they are paid an average of $1,045 more than the women, and their average in-rank rank. The difference is a decrease of 8.8 per cent from last year's salary variation.

Dale Scannell, dean of the School of Education, attributed the decrease to two factors: the success of education school recruitment programs of women in higher education and the difficulty of attempt on the school's part to eliminate inequities not associated with merit."
"In some instances, estimates and speculations are hard for students to do, but
Bowman said that the students had been confident of the outside contractor but realized that if housing workers didn't do the work, they wouldn't have a darkroom.
Scannell said the present 8.8 per cent salary difference wasn't discriminatory, but was based on the worth of the professors at the school.

poses." However, Hyle said that Shankel never really mentioned that he specifically wanted von Ende to continue attending the meetings.
Gold said, "I see no point in adding to his (von Ende's) secretarial staff."
The governing body secretary might be working in either von Ende's office or Stanko's.
Arthur Breiphel, SenEx member, said. "I like to hink the position would be responsible to both the governance administrator, not just the administration."

He said he thought there might be problems with utilizing authority to get work done if the position were attached to von Ende's office.
James Scally, assistant secretary for SenEx, said he used the services of von Ende's secretaries because Shankell's time to do even minor work he needed.

plaid.
Harry Warner, president of AURH, said that in the McColm case, it was probably cheaper in the long run to have had housing insurance workers do the darkroom work.
"Our staff is already here, and when we do not want the staff our paid to do nothing," Winger, said.
Wigner said that the final decision whether bids would be extended to outside contractors was left to the Administrative Housine Board.
Janet Hoffman, Hashing director, said she thought students should have the option of hiring outside workers for hall improvement.
"I think it's difficult to justify a student having to pay the difference between a quote received from housing and that of an independent," Hoffman said.
She said that some residence halls had received very low remodeling estimates. "I don't pretend to understand every facet of the problem, but I don't think housing should restrict their funds as they do," Hoffman said.

SALARY INEQUITY HAD been virtually eliminated, he said.
In the School of Fine Arts, there are 25 men and 2 women professors. The men, who average 9.2 years in-rank, are paid a yearly salary of $74,000. Women who have an average 6.5 years in rank.

Peter Thompson, associate dean of the School of Fine Arts, said salary differences depended upon the individual professors. And, he said, with a difference in 2.7 percent of salaries, women professors, he was surprised the difference in salaries wasn't greater.
He said that because the women professors' average salary was based on the salaries of only two women, "the average was a suspicious one."
That salary difference is an increase of 5.7 per cent over last year.
"The numbers (of women professors)

Ann Ruth Willner, professor of political science, said the overall lower salaries of women at KU was an indication that sex discrimination was also campus-wide.
aren't large enough," he said, to provide a representative sample.
In September, 1974, Wilmer charged the political science department with sex discrimination, and sent the charges to Stankel.
Yesterday, she called the average lower salaries of women professors "strong circumstantial evidence of discrimination," and dismissed the argument by ad-hoc arguments that merit and years-in-wank were the only criteria for salary differences.
