Covering the business of education and training

The American Association of University Professors released national and campus data showing gaps in faculty employment and salaries at American Universities.

There are four equity indicators:

1. Employment Status - (full-time and part-time)

2. Tenure status for full-timers

3. Promotion to the full professor rank

4. Average salary for full-time faculty

In nearly every case, women got the short end of the stick.

At doctoral degree granting institutions only 19.1% of the full-time faculty are women.

At masters degree granting institutions only 28.3% are women.

Bachelors degrees - 29.3% are women.

Associate's degrees - 47.9% are women.

So, why the disparity? Is it because there are fewer women in the faculty pool? Or is it something else?
