Description
This study looks at the differences and similarities in the number of full-time faculty and salary at doctoral research land-grant institutions in the southeastern United States particularly across academic levels (full, associate, and assistant professor), gender (male and female), and institution type (Historically Black Colleges and Universities—HBCU, and Predominantly White Institutions—PWI). Some surprising differences related to rank and salary between men and women emerged in the period examined, 1980-2011, at both university types and across university types. While gender disparities in salaries as well as the number of faculty across ranks persist at both types of institutions, these gaps widened more significantly at PWIs than at HBCUs. The salary differences indicate that as women faculty enter at the assistant professor rank in academia and progress to full professor, the discrepancy between their salaries and their male counterparts’ salaries increase significantly. These salary differences have a major impact on women’s academic careers, retirement packages, as well as on their communities.
