Data Management for Faculty Salary-Equity Studies in U.S. Higher Education

Music City Center 

Many U.S. colleges and universities conduct faculty salary-equity studies, using institutional data to identify and remediate pay disparities for women and other disadvantage groups. This session will discuss the unique challenges of managing data for such studies, including access to identity variables, coverage for variables of interest, and the types of systems used to manage faculty information in colleges and universities. Finally, the presenter will discuss how the American Association of University Professors can support college and university administrators, faculty members, and collective bargaining units engaged in salary-equity studies.
