The gender wage gap in the United States is a well-documented social and economic phenomenon. The Equal Pay Act of 1963 has done little to bring parity between men's and women's wages. Existing data show a relationship between race, age, geography, immigration, education, and women's pay status. This study analyzes wage disparity within higher education, specifically among the faculty at Riverside City College in Riverside, California. A transparent hiring process and salary schedule have reduced the gender wage gap to 1% at Riverside City College, compared to the 6-14% reported national average among faculty in higher education. Even though the gender wage gap is small, gender discrimination and gender bias are evident when the number of women in positions of authority is examined. Another indicator of gender inequity at Riverside City College is the high percentage of men teaching in STEM disciplines compared to women teaching in those disciplines.
