But, she said, the majority of women work at his jobs and the pay hasn't changed much.
"It is nice to know that we are
accepting we're certainly not
satisfied with what I did."
Ballard said that women had spent too much time and money working for an education to settle for being paid less for doing the same job as a man.
Among professors and instructors at KU, women get paid a higher percentage than the national average for women.
According to figures provided by the office of academic affairs:
- At the professor level, the average salary for men at KU is $43,200 compared to $73,700 for women, a 13 percent difference.
■ At the associate professor level, the average salary for men is $23,000, compared to $29,700 for women, a 7 percent difference.
■ At the assistant professor level, the average salary is $29,700 for men, compared to $25,300 for women, a 15 percent difference.
- At the instructor level, the average salary is $19,300 for men and $18,900 for women, a 2 percent difference.
Janet Riley, assistant vice chancellor for academic affairs, said a couple factors must be taken into consideration when looking at the figures. One is that KU has more male than female professors and
She also said women had been hired later than men so men had built up more years of service and higher salaries, she said.
instructors.
Fewer women are in higher paying fields such as engineering, and professors in those fields get paid more than those in lower paying fields such as humanities, which have a higher number of women teachers, she said.
Shirley Martin-Smith, owner of Martin-Smith Personnel Services, 1012 Massachusetts St., said the slight increase in the national percentage was probably because more women were entering job fields traditionally held by men, such as accounting and auditing, computer programming, management and administration, and electrical engineering.
Council to review add-drop policy
By a Kansan reporter
The University Council will review the part of its add-drop proposal that allows an individual school to make its add-drop period shorter than the University rule.
At an emergency meeting of the University Senate Executive Committee yesterday, members decided to send to the council an add-drop amendment to allow schools the option to shorten the add-drop period.
The council last week approved an add-drop proposal that would allow for a drop period of three weeks and
an add period of three weeks and two days. But the council did not discuss the rights of individual schools to set their own, more restrictive add-drop policies. The meeting was adjourned before that issue was discussed.
"I don't think anybody thought we were really finished," said Ron Francisco, SenEx member and associate professor of political science.
The current practice of schools is to set their own add-drop policies. In some highly technical classes such as physics, for example, students cannot add the class after the first day.
The exclusion of the issue from the council discussion was raised Tuesday in a meeting of the Faculty Executive Committee. Since FacEx could take no action on the matter, it asked SenEx to meet to consider sending the add-drop proposal back to University Council to allow it to discuss the option of shorter add-drop periods for individual schools.
The council's decision on the length of the add-drop period will not be discussed at the next council meeting.
